Leeds and Tottenham condemn racist abuse of Jayden Bogle

Leeds United said defender Jayden Bogle received racist abuse on social media after the club’s 1-0 Premier League victory over Tottenham Hotspur, and said it would work with the league and relevant authorities to identify those responsible and pursue action. Tottenham also condemned the abuse and said it would seek to ensure those responsible face consequences.

Leeds said Bogle had its full support and that of his teammates. The club said it would work with the Premier League and relevant authorities to identify the individuals behind the posts and push for the strongest possible action. The statements described plans to pursue accountability, but did not report that any accounts had been identified or sanctioned.

The abuse followed a first-half challenge by Bogle on Tottenham forward Mathys Tel. Referee John Brooks awarded a foul, and a video assistant referee review of about four minutes considered whether the challenge warranted a red card. Bogle was not sent off. Tel initially tried to continue but left the match injured a few minutes later.

Tottenham said it would pursue available avenues to identify those responsible for the online abuse and ensure they faced consequences....
