Tottenham demand social media companies take action after Son Heung-min racially abused during Prem win against West Ham

TOTTENHAM have demanded social media companies clamp down on racial abuse after Son Heung-min was targeted against West Ham.

The South Korea attacker faced what Spurs called “utterly reprehensible” online racism during Sunday’s 2-0 Prem win.

Sub Son bagged the clinching goal but his joy was marred by sick comments.

And in a club statement Tottenham said: “We have been made aware of the utterly reprehensible online racist abuse directed at Heung-Min Son during today’s match, which has been reported by the Club.

“We stand with Sonny and once again call on the social media companies and authorities to take action.”

Son, 30, has been the victim of online abuse before.

And eight arrests were made following similar allegations in a 2-1 defeat against Manchester United in April 2021.

Fans online rallied round Son on Sunday night.

One posted: “It’s so sad how people always stoop so low.”
