Tottenham Hotspur are investigating an alleged racist gesture towards Son Heung-min during the home win against Crystal Palace.
Spurs centre-forward Harry Kane netted the only goal of the game, providing a perfectly-weighted side-footed pass to right-wing-back Pedro Porro, who returned the favour with a lovely cross that the England captain headed past a helpless Sam Johnstone on the stroke of half-time. But on Sunday, the Lillywhites released a statement detailing that there was an allegation of racial abuse towards Son during the match.
Their announcement read: "We are aware of an allegation of racial abuse towards Heung-Min Son during yesterday’s match. Discrimination of any kind is abhorrent and has no place in society, our game and at our Club.

"We are working with Met Police and Crystal Palace to investigate and identify the individual involved. We will do everything in our powers to ensure that if found guilty, the individual will receive the strongest possible action - as was the case earlier this season when Son suffered similar racial abuse at Chelsea."
Palace then released a statement on Twitter condemning the incident, saying that they will ban the individual in question. They wrote on Twitter: "We are aware of a video circulating online (as well as reports made directly to us) regarding an individual in the away end at Spurs yesterday, appearing to make racist gestures towards Heung-Min Son.
"Evidence has been shared with the police, and when he is identified, he will face a club ban. We will not tolerate such behaviour in our club."
