South Korea forward Son is alleged to have been racially abused by a member of the crowd at Stamford Bridge in Sunday’s top-flight clash, DPA reports. The Blues took their latest initiative in the long-running ‘No To Hate’ campaign before Sunday’s Spurs clash, taking steps to make it easier for spectators to report alleged abuses. The back of every seat at Stamford Bridge now has instructions on how to report incidents of abuse, either by text or by barcode on a smartphone.
