Tottenham release strong statement condemning ‘unacceptable’ chants against Manchester United
The latest Tottenham news as the club have released a statement condemning homophobic chants from some sections of the away end at Old Trafford
Tottenham Hotspur have said that homophobic chanting from a small section of the away end during the Premier League fixture against Manchester United at Old Trafford is ‘simply unacceptable’.
Spurs came out as comfortable 3-0 winners against Erik ten Hag’s team. The goals and the performance left the away corner of Old Trafford that housed a sell-out Spurs crowd jubilant.
But there have been reports of some homophobic chanting during the celebrations. Spurs have now released a strong statement on the situation.
The Club is aware of abhorrent homophobic chanting from sections of our away support at Old Trafford today,” they said on their official website.
“This is simply unacceptable, hugely offensive and no way to show support for the team.
“The Club will be working closely with the Police and stewards to identify anyone instigating or joining in with the chanting – we shall take the strongest possible action in accordance with our Sanctions and Banning Policy .
Supporters in attendance today can report anything they’ve seen or heard in confidence to supporterservices@tottenhamhotspur.com
“We shall be continuing our work with our LGBTQ+ supporters’ association, Proud Lilywhites, to ensure a welcoming and inclusive environment for all fans on matchdays.
“We are justly proud of our superb and loyal support, home and away. However, we all have a responsibility to act as ambassadors of Tottenham Hotspur and discrimination of any kind has no place at our Club.”
Tottenham slapped down a sorry Manchester United side on Sunday at Old Trafford by recording a comfortable 3-0 win.
From back to front, many Spurs players shone brightly as Ange Postecoglou’s side have since reacted well to that north London derby defeat against Arsenal several weeks ago.
Inside a few minutes, Brennan Johnson was scoring again for Spurs, and in truth, it should have been more after 45 minutes.
The big talking point in the first half wasn’t Johnson’s goal, but Bruno Fernandes’ straight red card after his alleged high challenge on James Maddison.
That just made matters worse for Manchester United because they were already under the cosh and they should have been further behind.
It also needs to be remembered that Tottenham were without their captain Son Heung-min, who was injured, with loan signing Timo Werner coming into the XI.
The German himself should have added to Dejan Kulusevski and Dominic Solanke’s goals, but once again, his poor play in the final third let him down.
On one occasion, he went through one v one, but he passed the ball straight to Andre Onana, but it was his second-half effort that frustrated Gary Neville, as he told Sky Sports Premier League (29/09/24 at 6:00 pm).
After racing down the left flank, including beating his man, he had an ample chance to find several Spurs players inside the box, but he somehow beat them all and gave possession away to Manchester United.
Neville was pretty clear in his thoughts about Werner and how he was ‘really poor’ because the home side were having their best spell at that moment.
Timo Werner criticised despite Tottenham’s win at Manchester United
“It’s really poor form Werner,” said Neville. “He does well in his first part, but in the last part, he has to find the white shirts. It gives Manchester United a little chance to attack here.”
Mikey Moore should start ahead of Timo Werner
The Spurs teenager came on in the second half for Werner and he looked far better than his senior teammate.
You wonder, with Europa League football kicking in again in midweek, then another Premier League fixture, is there a chance for Mikey Moore to start?
Especially if Son is still injured, you feel this is Moore’s chance to be handed a go because he looks far better than Werner.
You can just see Werner starting the next two games and continuing to miss those big chances because he did it at Chelsea and it isn’t changing at Hotspur Way.
