London's "Chelsea" on Sunday beat "Tottenham" team in the city derby with a score of 2:0. However, after the match, most of the talk was not about the teams' performance, but about another racism scandal.
In the middle of the second half, "Tottenham" footballer Heung-Min Son was sent off the field for a foul on Antonio Rudiger, and dissatisfied with this decision, "Spurs" fans racially abused the "Chelsea" defender.
After the match, the 26-year-old German wrote on his social media account that such issues must be spoken out loud and the culprits must be found and receive appropriate punishments.
"It is very sad to see racism again in football matches, but we must speak out loud about it. If we don't, such events will soon be forgotten.
I do not want to blame the entire "Tottenham" club because I understand that it was the work of a few idiots. I received a lot of support messages from "Tottenham" fans themselves, and I am incredibly grateful for that.
I hope that the culprits will be found and punished as soon as possible. In such a modern stadium with a dozen cameras, it should be possible to identify these individuals and punish them.
If that cannot be done, then there should be witnesses who saw this incident. It is unfortunate that in 2019 the issue of racism is still relevant. When will this nonsense end?" - wrote A. Rudiger.
