Tottenham Hotspur have condemned racist abuse directed at defender Kevin Danso following their 1-1 draw with Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday. The club issued a statement on Monday expressing solidarity with the player, who faced online abuse after the match.
Danso, on loan from Lens, endured a mixed performance against Liverpool's attacking threats, with the club noting that he showed resilience despite the hostile narrative surrounding his display. Tottenham's statement read: "We are disgusted by the racist abuse aimed at Kevin Danso. Such behaviour has no place in football or society. The club will support Kevin fully and work with authorities to identify those responsible."
The draw left Tottenham just one point above the relegation zone, with interim boss Igor Tudor under pressure after a 5-2 defeat to Atletico Madrid in the Champions League. Richarlison's late equaliser cancelled out Dominik Szoboszlai's first-half free-kick, offering a lifeline to the struggling side.
Liverpool's hopes of Champions League qualification suffered a blow, as they failed to capitalise on their dominance. The Reds were criticised for not taking their chances, with goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario making several key saves to keep Spurs in the game.
