Tottenham have confirmed a fan has been arrested for allegedly using homophobic language during Sunday’s 2-0 win over Chelsea.
Following the match at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, it emerged homophobic chanting coming from a home area of the stadium had been reported.
The chanting was reported to have taken place before kick-off and again after Chelsea winger Hakim Ziyech was shown a red card – which was subsequently rescinded – just before half-time.

Responding to a Twitter post from a Spurs fan highlighting the abuse, Tottenham said: “We can confirm an individual was arrested for use of homophobic language.
“There is no place for discrimination at Tottenham Hotspur.”
Oliver Skipp and Harry Kane scored as Tottenham inflicted another defeat on Graham Potter’s Chelsea, who saw their winless run extended to six games.
