On April 11, Tottenham lost 1-3 to Manchester United in the 31st round of the English Premier League in the 2020-21 season at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England.
Son Heung Min scored the first goal in the 40th minute of the first half, but Tottenham was not able to win the match after giving up three goals to Manchester United.
The controversy started after the match had been completed.
Some of the Manchester United fans had flocked to Son Heung Min's social media to leave racist slurs and malicious comments.
The fans left numerous comments such as "Dog eating cheating b****d Song Heung Min," "Son is a filthy dog eating Korean c***," " and more.
It seems that many Manchester United fans were unhappy that Scott McTominay's goal was not counted, but Son Heung Min's goal was.
After the racist comments became too severe, Tottenham made a statement stating they will take effective action. They stated, " Another matchday and more abhorrent racial abuse suffered by one of our players. This has again been reported to the platforms, and we shall now undertake a full review alongside the Premier League to determine the most effective action moving forward."
This is a Absolutely disgusting! The language people are using, and the racist terms, I’m actually angry at these people. What right do they have to use this language or even comment on this looks. I understand that in the football world people get angry at not scoring or cheating but this language is never okay

This is really bad and yes racism is real. Unfortunately! We did not have StopAsianHate movement for nothing. It worsened so much since Covid that unless you felt it you cannot imagine.
