After a 3-0 complete victory over Manchester United, Tottenham released a statement against the slogan of `homosexual hatred' that resonated in Old Trafford on the club's official website.
Tottenham won 3-0 in the 6th round of the English Premier League (EPL) away to Manchester United on the 30th (Korea time), thanks to consecutive goals by Brennan Johnson in the 3rd minute of the first half, Dejan Kulusevski in the 2nd minute of the second half and Dominic Solanke in the 32nd minute of the second half, while Captain Son Heung-min was absent due to a thigh injury. With this victory, Tottenham has won four consecutive games after the League Cup Coventry match, following the league's Brantford match and the Europa League against Karabakh, jumping to eighth place in the league.
In the joy of the away victory, there was also an unsavory scene. Some of Tottenham's away supporters chanted 'homophobic' aimed at Manchester United midfielder and former Chelsea star Mason Mount. As soon as Tottenham recognized the fact, it actively responded through an official statement.
Tottenham said in an official statement: "The club is aware that some of the Old Trafford away supporters chanted hateful anti-gay slogans today"This is an unacceptable and very insulting act and not a way of showing support for the team." "The club, in close cooperation with police and security personnel, will seek out those who instigate or participate in the relief and will then take the strongest possible action under the sanctions and off-limits policy."
"We are proud of our fans for their excellent and enthusiastic support, both at home and away"But we all have a responsibility to act as ambassadors for Tottenham Hotspur, and there is no place for any discrimination within our club. "
In January 2022, Tottenham fan Nigel Carrington was convicted of a £300 fine and hate crime after shouting homophobic abuse at Chelsea in a rivalry match at Stamford Bridge. In February last year, another supporter was arrested in Tottenham's 2-0 victory over Chelsea, shouting homophobic slogans.
