Stadia ban for man bailed in Semenyo racism probe

Every football stadium in the UK has been banned from all games after a man was detained on suspicion of racially abusing Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo at the start of the Premier League season.

Semenyo flagged up the match after the Cherries’ Friday game against Liverpool, but it was abruptly stopped in the 29th minute.

A 47-year-old man from Liverpool was detained on suspicion of a public order offence that racially aggravated, according to Merseyside Police, and has been conditionally bailed.

The force stated that Liverpool Football Club and the police were conducting an ongoing investigation into the incident.

The Ghana international, 25, said on social media that the game at Anfield would be remembered forever because “the entire football family stood together.”
