Everton are helping police after Brentford's Rico Henry and Ivan Toney said members of their family were racially abused in the Premier League match at Goodison Park.
Toney played the full 90 minutes as Brentford beat relegation-threatened Everton 3-2, tweeting after the game: "For the man that racially abused my family Il (sic) do everything I can to get you the punishment you deserve!"
In reply to Toney's tweet, Everton tweeted: "There is no place in football - or society - for racism. We are assisting Merseyside Police to ensure the individual is identified and dealt with appropriately."
Toney's team-mate Henry also tweeted, saying: "I never usually speak out on things that don't physically harm me or my family but to see my mom upset after being racially abused by a few Everton fans brought fire to my stomach! I will do anything for them & whatever it takes to get the small minority punished! This is not acceptable & must be investigated immediately."
In a club statement, Brentford said: "We are aware of an incident where racist abuse was directed towards family members of our players. A report has been made to both the police and to Everton FC.
