'Racism is a refuge for helpless and ignorant people' - Trabzonspor file criminal complaint after Obi Mikel attacks

Trabzonspor have condemned the "ignorant people" responsible for racially abusing John Obi Mikel after their win against Fenerbahce at the weekend.

Obi Mikel played the full 90 minutes as his side earned a hard-fought 2-1 win against the Istanbul giants. It was a heated match, with Luiz Gustavo sent off late on for dissent and Fenerbahce midfielder Emre Belozoglu seen arguing with a furious Obi Mikel after the final whistle.

Belozoglu and Obi Mikel had to be separated by team-mates at the end of the game, having been involved in a running battle in the midfield.
