A video has emerged appearing to show Valencia fans make nazi salutes and monkey gestures towards Arsenal supporters.
The footage was uploaded to social media last night showing the gestures coming from the away end following the Gunners’ 3-1 Europa League victory against the Spanish side.
Journalist Tome Morrissy-Swan put out the video and urged police to act. He said: “To the Nazi-saluting, monkey-gesturing Valencia fan. You’re a disgrace to your club and country.”

He also replied to another user “others were berating them in the ground”.
Just last month, three Chelsea fans were banned from entering Slavia Prague’s stadium after they were spotted on a clip chanting a racist song about Mo Salah.
Arsenal’s Ainsley Maitland-Niles also was called him a “stupid monkey” on Instagram earlier this week.
UEFA ordered Dinamo Zagreb to play their next home European match behind closed doors as for their fans’ racist behaviour in their side’s win against Benfica in March.
