Everton fan arrested for alleged racist abuse towards Manchester City's Antoine Semenyo

According to Merseyside Police an investigation is ongoing after a 71-year-old man from Nottinghamshire was apprehended on suspicion of a "racially aggravated public order offence".

"An investigation into the incident during the match remains ongoing and we continue to work closely with Everton FC," read a police statement.

"He has now been bailed with conditions, which includes not to go within one mile of any designated sports stadium in a period of up to four hours before kick-off, during the match and up to four hours after the game has ended."

Everton added that they will continue to work with the police to stamp out any form of rascism or discrimination.

"Racism and discrimination in all forms are completely unacceptable. They have no place in our stadia, our sport or in society," the club said.

“The club will continue to work closely with the authorities to support their investigation and will take the strongest possible action in line with its zero-tolerance approach.”
