We join Leeds United in condemning the abhorrent online racist abuse targeted at Jayden Bogle and have offered our full support to Jayden and the club.
Anybody found guilty of committing discriminatory abuse will face club bans and criminal prosecution.
Racism has no place in our game or anywhere in society.
Leeds United Football Club are appalled at the disgusting, racist social media abuse Jayden Bogle suffered following Saturday’s Premier League victory against Tottenham Hotspur.
Leeds United condemns this behaviour in the strongest possible terms. There is no place for racism in football or society.
The club will work with the Premier League and relevant authorities to identify the individuals and push for the strongest possible action to be taken against them.
Jayden has the full and unconditional support of the club and his teammates, and we all stand with him at this time.
Nobody should ever be subjected to racist abuse.
@henrywinter He tried challenging for the ball with the other foot and simply landed awkwardly with his back foot trying to stop himself. Unfortunate accident.
@biteyerlegs70 I'm still in the "let his deal expire and assess in the summer whether to offer a new one" camp. We need to see real improvement year over year. I'd also like to see fewer silly comments from him about the squad. It's plenty strong, mate.
I'd just like to say, while it's just us, that Tarik Muharemovic is outrageously good. Just keep it down in front of the others - don't want that getting out. #LUFC
🚨 Noah Okafor reveals what Dominic Calvert-Lewin told him at full-time after their 1:0 win against Tottenham:
🎙️ Interviewer: “Noah, what was going through your mind when you came on in the 77th minute and scored with your very first touch?
Noah Okafor: Honestly, it was a special feeling. You dream of moments like that, but you don’t expect them to happen so quickly. I just wanted to make an impact. Two minutes later, the ball was in the net. I couldn’t stop smiling!
Interviewer: “We saw you sharing a moment with Dominic Calvert-Lewin after the final whistle. What did he say to you?
Noah Okafor: He came straight over and said, “That’s how you introduce yourself! You didn’t even give the defenders time to learn your name!”
But seriously, he told me how happy he was for me. He said these are the moments that bring a dressing room together, and that I should enjoy it because I’ve earned it.
Interviewer: “Did you expect that kind of reception from your teammates?
Noah Okafor: That’s what I love about this group. Nobody made it about themselves. Dominic was celebrating like he had scored the goal himself! That’s the kind of connection you need if you want to achieve something special.
Interviewer: “One goal, three points and a massive win against Spurs. What message does this send?
Noah Okafor: We don’t need one hero. We need everyone ready when their moment comes. Today it was my turn. Next time, it could be Dominic or someone else. That’s football. We win together.
@TheAthleticFC Studs up tackle? He attempted to win the ball with the other foot and accidentally stepped on Tel's trailing ankle with his back foot. Sore one for sure, but to call it a "studs up tackle" is an assault on sports journalism.
