Tottenham vow to investigate and take action against fans who abused Black Lives Matter protesters after a man in a Spurs tracksuit was seen in a video of a group shouting: 'go back to Africa'

Tottenham are investigating reports that a group of fans verbally abused protesters at a Black Lives Matters demonstration, vowing to clamp down on any supporter found to have been involved.

A clip emerged on social media appearing to show men yelling at people protesting in Hoddesdon, Hertfordshire, on Monday with a man being heard saying 'go back to Africa' in unsavoury scenes. One individual in the video was seen wearing a Spurs tracksuit.

The video posted on social media was brought to the club's attention by singer Declan McKenna, who urged the club to ban any fans found guilty of abuse at the protest, which was being held amid the worldwide response to the killing of George Floyd by a policeman in the United States on May 25.
