Tottenham issue statement promising 'exhaustive investigation' of Rudiger incident

The club say they have shared their findings with the police after the player complained he was subjected to racist abuse in Sunday's match

Tottenham have issued a statement promising that anyone found guilty of racial abuse at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will be banned for life, and saying they’re ‘exhaustively investigating’ potential abuse of Antonio Rudiger in Sunday’s game against Chelsea.

The Germany international complained that he was subjected to racist abuse and gestures after an incident in which Heung-min Son was sent off. Referee Anthony Taylor directed the stadium announcer to make a statement over the tannoy at the ground, and the game was allowed to continue.
