A damming statement from Kick It Out has been released following the allegations of racial abuse aimed at Brentford players and their families at the weekend.
Following Brentford's win over Everton at Goodison Park on Sunday, Brentford players Ivan Toney and Rico Henry took to social media to share that their family members had been the subject of racist abuse. Striker Ivan Toney tweeted last night: "And for the man that racially abused my family [I'll] do everything I can to get you the punishment you deserve!"
Rico Henry tweeted: "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!"
