A Chelsea supporter has been handed a three-year ban from football after making a racist gesture towards Tottenham Hotspur star Son Heung-Min, according to Daily Mail.
The incident happened at Stamford Bridge during Chelsea’s 2-2 draw against Tottenham Hotspur earlier this season.
Thomas Burchell was in the stands at Stamford Bridge for Chelsea’s London derby clash with Spurs on August 14 and was caught on camera making the offensive gesture.
He was identified via social media after images made their rounds on various platforms and was reported to anti-discrimination football organisation Kick It Out.
After admitting to police that he had made the racially aggravated action, Mr Burchell appeared at City of London Magistrates’ Court and was also fined an increased amount of £726 due to the racial nature of the offence, in addition to his ban.
