Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo has thanked his teammates, Liverpool’s players and the soccer community as a whole for the “overwhelming messages of support” he received after reporting that he was racially abused by a fan during the Premier League’s season opener at Anfield.

The incident came two days after Spurs' Mathys Tel faced abuse online following a missed penalty against Paris Saint-Germain.

A Liverpool fan has been arrested after Antoine Semenyo reported being racially abused as he took a throw-in at Anfield. A 47-year-old man from Liverpool has been arrested on suspicion of a racially-aggravated public order offence after a fan was seen being ejected from the stadium on Friday.
