Arsenal season-ticket holders racially abused midfielder Granit Xhaka on Twitter, an investigation has claimed. Xhaka and other Premier League players were targeted during a month-long study as analysts aim to reveal the 'true life identities' of prolific abusers on social media. Analysts found 52 account users involved with online hate against Chelsea's Antonio Rudiger identified as season-ticket holders of rival clubs. Rudiger revealed he suffered "immense" racist abuse on social media following the sacking of Frank Lampard last month. This includes support from sports psychologists and our social media team.
