## Article

Leeds United have condemned alleged online racist abuse aimed at defender Jayden Bogle after Saturday's 1-0 Premier League win against Tottenham Hotspur at Elland Road, according to The Independent.

The 26-year-old Leeds defender was targeted after he escaped punishment for a first-half tackle on Spurs forward Mathys Tel that led to Tel hobbling off, BBC Sport reported. Bogle avoided any booking despite planting his studs onto the Achilles of Tel during the first-half challenge.

On-field referee John Brooks did not penalise the Leeds wing-back, and following a lengthy VAR review, officials determined there was no serious foul play.

It is understood the north London club will write to Pro Ref to request an explanation as to why Bogle was not shown a red card.

## Club and league response

" "Leeds United condemns this behaviour in the strongest possible terms. " "Jayden has the full and unconditional support of the club and his team-mates, and we all stand with him at this time.

" Bogle reportedly disabled comments on his Instagram account on Saturday after Leeds' win at Elland Road. On Sunday, Leeds published a selection of messages Bogle had received - with his permission - to highlight their severity.

Tottenham also released a statement on Sunday saying the club had been "disgusted" by the abuse suffered by Bogle and have offered their support in identifying those responsible.

"We will pursue every available avenue to ensure they are identified and face the full consequences of their actions," read the statement. "

## Match context and what happens next

Leeds won the game 1-0 at Elland Road on Saturday. Tottenham are set to submit a formal complaint about the decision to not send Bogle off and will write to refereeing body Pro Ref to seek an explanation.

## Background

It is not the first time this year that Tottenham have had a player, or an opposition player, suffer online racist abuse after a Premier League game.

Tottenham defender Kevin Danso was targeted by "vile" abuse in April, the weekend after Sunderland's Brian Brobbey had been the subject of racist abuse following an incident in a match against Spurs.

That followed four incidents in February over the same weekend, when Burnley midfielder Hannibal Mejbri, Chelsea defender Wesley Fofana, and Tottenham's own Son Heung-min were targeted.
