Sunderland have strongly condemned the racist abuse aimed at Brian Brobbey on social media after their win over Tottenham Hotspur.
The club said racism is unacceptable and confirmed the abuse has been reported to the authorities, social media platforms, and the Premier League. They also demanded quick action against those responsible.
Sunderland stressed that this is not an isolated case, pointing to recent abuse directed at players like Romaine Mundle and Lutsharel Geertruida.
The club showed full support for Brobbey and said football must be a safe and inclusive space for everyone. Meanwhile, the Premier League also condemned the incident and promised strict punishment for anyone found guilty.
Reports show that racist abuse in football, especially online, is increasing, with authorities now investigating multiple recent cases.
