Tottenham
have identified and banned the supporter who threw a cup at Chelsea
goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga during Sunday’s game.
The incident occurred moments before team-mate Antonio Rudiger alleged he
was racially abused by Spurs fans during an ill-tempered 2-0 win for Frank
Lampard's Chelsea side.
Images show Kepa being targeted by a fan behind the goal in the 65th minute
with the cup missing the Spanish goalkeeper by inches as he walked across
his six-yard box.
And Tottenham have now issued a statement saying they have issued an
immediate ban for the individual responsible.
It read: "We shall continue to take the strongest action possible against
anyone found to be behaving in this way.
"Our investigation into the alleged racist abuse against Chelsea defender
Antonio Rudiger remains ongoing.
"If anyone has any further information they should please email
supporterservices@tottenhamhotspur.com or text 07537 404821."
A Chelsea fan was also arrested for alleged racist abuse of Heung-Min Son,
who was shown a straight red card for a foul on Rudiger.
