"A swift response from fellow supporters, stewards and Merseyside police led to the individual being identified and appropriate action taken. 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."
"Manchester City strongly condemns the racist abuse directed towards Antoine Semenyo at yesterday's match. We welcome the swift action taken by Everton and the police to identify the individual responsible."
"We are also incredibly disappointed to hear that Marc Guehi was subject to a series of vile racist social media posts last night. We will continue to offer our full support to both Antoine and Marc and never accept discrimination of any kind in our game."
A 71-year-old man was arrested for racially abusing Antoine Semenyo during a match between Manchester City and Everton. The arrest followed reports from supporters and stewards at Hill Dickinson Stadium. The man has been bailed with conditions, including restrictions on attending sports stadiums. Both Everton and Manchester City condemned the abuse, emphasizing their commitment to zero tolerance for discrimination. Semenyo had previously faced similar abuse while playing for Bournemouth. Another individual, Mark Mogan, pleaded not guilty to racially aggravated disorderly behavior against Semenyo and awaits trial after a psychiatric evaluation.
