The “Liverpool Echo” newspaper said on Wednesday that West Ham United made a decisive decision against one of its fans, who directed racist words against Liverpool player Mohamed Salah of Egypt during the match that brought them together last season.
And West Ham decided to ban the fan Bradley Thomwood for 3 years, plus a fine of £ 400 plus the payment of additional fees and costs of £ 215.
The events of the incident date back to February 2019, when Liverpool visited West Ham United in the 25th round of the Premier League championship, and the match ended with a positive 1-1 draw.
According to the video clip, which 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 opened an investigation after the incident, and a 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.”
The 48-year-old admitted 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 the stadiums of England. His rival, Raheem Sterling of Manchester City, was subjected to racist chants during his team’s game against Chelsea, and legal action was taken against a Tottenham fan who threw a “banana peel” at Gabonese player Pierre. -America Aubameyang, the star of Arsenal in the Emirates, is banned from attending matches for life
