English team West Ham United handed down harsh punishment to their fan, who directed racist words at Liverpool star Mohamed Salah, Egypt international, during the match that united the two teams in 2019 in the Premier League.
West Ham announced the ban of its fan Bradley Thomwood for a period of 3 years, a fine of £ 400 and an additional fee and costs of £ 215, due to racist remarks directed at Egyptian star Mohamed Salah, the Liverpool player.
The events of the West Ham fan against Mohamed Salah date back to February 2019, when Liverpool were invited to West Ham United in the 25th round of the English Premier League and the match ended in a 1-1 draw..
According to the video clip that circulated on social media, during Salah’s corner kick, a West Ham United fan made some racist chants against “Mo” for being Muslim..
West Ham then opened an investigation into the incident, and the official spokesman for the English club criticized the incident, saying: “At West Ham United, we follow a policy of punishment for any form of violent or abusive behavior.“.
Bradley Thomwood, a 48-year-old West Ham fan, confessed to the incident he committed against the Liverpool forward..
It should be noted that Salah is not the first player to be subjected to such chants in stadiums in England, as his opponent, Raheem Sterling of Manchester City, was subjected to racist chants during his team’s game against Chelsea.
Legal action has also been taken against a Tottenham fan who threw a “banana peel” at Gabonese player Emeric Aubameyang, the Arsenal star in the Emirates, and was banned from attending matches for life.
