Cameroonian defender Sébastien Bassong faced a racist incident following his equalizing goal for Norwich City against Everton. Norwich City announced its intention to file a complaint with the British courts against the racist abuse directed at Bassong on social media platform Twitter.
After reports of racist insults targeting Bassong surfaced, the club decided to refer the matter to the police. David McNally, the general manager of Norwich City, confirmed the decision, stating that they would not tolerate such behavior. The club aims to take legal action against the individuals responsible for the racist abuse.
Norwich City manager Chris Hughton expressed his support for Bassong and emphasized that such incidents have no place in football. He hopes that those responsible for the racist abuse will be identified and face legal consequences for their actions.
