The fans were filmed singing an abusive song about rivals Tottenham Hotspur on a tram before the game at Old Trafford, which West Ham lost 2-1. “We are disgusted by the contents of the video,” West Ham said in a statement. Saturday’s incident came two days after a group of Chelsea supporters were filmed singing an Islamophobic chant about Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah before their Europa League match against Slavia Prague. Arsenal also launched an investigation after Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly was racially abused by a supporter during their Europa League match on Thursday.
