An investigation has been launched into a footballer’s claims that a Fulham supporter and his wife hit and racially abused his sister.
It is said the incident took place in the away end during Fulham’s surprise 1-0 defeat at Barnsley, their opening match of the season in the Championship following relegation from the Premier League months ago.
Cyrus Christie tweeted: “To the Fulham fan that decided to hit my sister at the game today and his wife who justified his action with racist remarks I hope your proud of yourself and feel like a big man. You’ll get what’s coming to you. Regardless how you felt about the result your actions are shameful ?”
Fulham also wrote: “Fulham Football Club is investigating an incident which took place in the away end at the Barnsley v Fulham fixture this afternoon. Should the perpetrators be identified, the Club will be taking the strongest possible action.”
