Everton to investigate reported homophobic chanting at Chelsea match

The Toffees are looking into allegations that visiting fans were subject to discriminatory remarks over the weekend

Everton have launched an investigation into reports of homophobic chanting during the club's 3-1 win over Chelsea at Goodison Park on Saturday.

The chanting is alleged to have been aimed towards visiting fans as the Toffees claimed a memorable victory under interim manager Duncan Ferguson.

On a weekend the Premier League rallied behind Stonewall’s Rainbow Laces campaign which aims to support gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender people in sport, Everton have vowed to investigate the incident as they look to ensure Goodison Park remains an inclusive place.
