Tottenham Hotspur announced on Wednesday that a fan had been banned from entering Premier League stadiums for three years due to racism against South Korean star Son Heung-min.

The incident occurred during Tottenham's 1-0 victory over its guest Crystal Palace last May.

A Tottenham statement said: “The club can confirm that one of the visiting fans who was found guilty of making a discriminatory gesture towards Heung-Min Son during our Premier League match against Crystal Palace in May has been handed a three-year football ban following an appeal against the referee. the original".

He added: “The club assisted the Metropolitan Police in collecting evidence against the fan, who was arrested and charged with committing a racist public order offence.”

The fan pleaded guilty to the offense and was given 60 hours' work and unpaid costs - however, the club has raised concerns with the Metropolitan Police and the UK Football Policing Unit about the leniency of this sentence.
