'It's Unacceptable In Every Football Stadium, Let Alone At Anfield': Slot On Semenyo Racist Abuse

By IANS News August 16, 2025 • 10:56 AM View: 532

The Premier League: Liverpool manager Arne Slot said that there is no room for racism in football and the abuse faced by Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo at Anfield was "unacceptable".

The Premier League opener between reigning champions and Bournemouth was stopped for several minutes during the first half following an allegation of "discriminatory abuse" from a supporter towards Semenyo.

Referee Anthony Taylor informed both managers, Slot and Andoni Iraola, about the incident reported by Ghana international Semenyo.
