Reactions were very over the top. Ake and Gullit both said so.

Same name (Chan) though. I'd cut him some slack.

Well done, Arsenal. Includes three people who were banned for online abuse.

Russian bots are always blamed. I don't buy it.
Anyway, this is why I don't support England.
I hope it never 'comes home'.

I keep thinking of Saka taking that corner and that idiot is yelling "YOU LET YOUR COUNTRY DOWN! YOU LET YOUR COUNTRY DOWN!" F.ck off! He shouldn't have to endure this. I can't imagine what it's like.

Incredible statement

Is it ever going to stop?

Twelve months ago Elijah Adebayo was subjected to racist abuse on social media. A wave of vile and disgusting messages pouring into his account from faceless racists.

We published this story.

Fast forward a year later and it has happened again.

At 8.28pm BST on Wednesday evening, an account in the UK on Instagram messaged Elijah with a racist comment.

After Elijah notified us following last night’s game with Sunderland, in which he scored his first goal of the season, we reported the incident to the Police and to Meta. It is now being investigated.

Just like we said a year ago, and just like we will do WHENEVER a player or staff member is subjected to abuse, we will stand by and support Elijah unequivocally.

To the individual who cowardly dropped into Elijah’s DMs: We know who you are and you know who you are. You’re not a faceless account, one which we have sadly become accustomed to reporting in recent years.

But as if you have the balls to come to Kenilworth Road and say it to his face. We dare you. If you do, you’ll be faced with everyone at Luton Town Football Club, standing side-by-side with Elijah.

Abuse of any kind is unacceptable. But does everyone know that? It’s why we are doing our bit to educate everyone that racism and all forms of abuse is abhorrent and unacceptable.

Last season, as part of the Premier League’s No Room For Racism campaign, we showed members of our staff the racist and abusive messages our players have been subjected to. This is real life with real life affects.

I was a match going fan Arsenal 80's amd 90's. Home and away.

We had then and it's clear now a very diverse fan base. Fantastic, love it.

Anyone racial abusing players you are not wanted at OUR club, or any club.
