• Police say they are reviewing footage of incident
The Metropolitan Police and West Ham United are investigating a video in which a supporter can apparently be heard aiming Islamophobic abuse at Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah at the London Stadium on Monday night.
The incident was captured in a video posted on Twitter and the alleged abuse appeared to occur as Salah took a corner for Liverpool during the first half of his team’s 1-1 draw away to West Ham in the Premier League. In the footage, recorded in a home area of the ground, someone is heard shouting “Salah, you fucking Muslim, fucking Muslim cunt” at the Egyptian forward.
