Tottenham have offered their support to striker Richarlison, who was the subject of racist abuse while on international duty with Brazil.
A banana appeared to be thrown at Richarlison from the stands as he celebrated his goal in a 5-1 win over Tunisia at the Parc des Princes on Tuesday.
The Spurs man responded on social media, warning “it will continue like this” until such incidents are punished.
Richarlison has received the backing of his Brazil team-mates, and Tottenham added a message of support on Wednesday.
“We are disgusted by the racist abuse of Richarlison at last night’s game between Brazil and Tunisia,” the Premier League club posted on Twitter.
“This has no place in football, or anywhere. We stand with you, Richy.”
