After 64 minutes into the game, the players of Haringey walked out of a match against Yeovil following claims of racist abuse.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Once again racism sadly found its way the football world on Monday the 14th<\/sup> of October.<\/p>\n

The home-players decided to leave the field shortly after Yeovil scored the first goal. The football club, as well as the fans, showed clear disgust towards such behaviours.<\/p>\n

The Haringey Club later Twitted: \u201cIt must be said that 99.9% of @YTFC fans are also disgusted by what\u2019s happened as much as we are.\u201d<\/p>\n

The goalkeeper of the club was being spat at and thrown bottles on. These behaviours were not tolerated in anyways from both teams.<\/p>\n

Players from Haringey as well as Yeovil came back to the field showing beautiful solidarity.<\/p>\n

This sad issue recurring on a regular basis in the football world has known some recent stories like the one during England\u2019s Euro Qualifier 2022<\/a> in which racist chants were aimed at Tyrone Mings and Raheem Sterling.<\/p>\n

The Football Association did not comment on this event. But both teams have expressed their discontent and anger towards racism in the sport.<\/p>\n
