February 8 – Not for the first time, Premier League champions Chelsea have been condemned over the use of anti-Semitic language by a section of their fans.
A report on a Jewish website said one fan was left “disgusted” by chanting from fellow supporters during last Monday’s 4-1 defeat at Watford.
“Anti-Semitism has no place in our club, football or wider society,” said a Chelsea trouble-shooting statement.
“Anyone found guilty of anti-Semitic language or behaviour will face action from the club, including bans, and will be asked to attend equality education courses.
“We welcome the fact that Chelsea fans have reported this behaviour, which shames our club.”
