CHELSEA are investigating possible racist abuse aimed at Son Heung-min during Sunday’s London derby at Stamford Bridge.
The incident in question occurred when the South Korean went over to take a corner in the second half.
And the Spurs star received abuse from the Shed End as he took the set-piece.
According to The Athletic, footage has emerged which shows a racist gesture aimed at the player.
Back in April 2021, three Manchester United season-ticket holders were suspended after abusing Son online in the wake of the Red Devils’ 3-1 win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
And two years prior to that, a West Ham supporter was fined for racially abusing Son during a Carabao Cup match.
