EPL: Leeds vow action against racist abuse of Bogle

Leeds United have vowed to take strong action against those responsible for directing racist abuse at defender Jayden Bogle following their 1-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday. The 26-year-old was targeted with racist messages on social media after escaping a red card for a first-half challenge on Tottenham forward Mathys Tel, who was forced off following the incident.

Leeds condemned the messages in the strongest possible terms, describing themselves as appalled by the behaviour and sharing some of the abusive messages Bogle received to highlight the severity of the incident. The club also assured Bogle of their full support, insisting that nobody should be subjected to racist abuse. Tottenham also condemned the incident, describing the abuse as disgusting and pledging to support efforts to identify those responsible.
