Chelsea's 2-0 Premier League win over Tottenham Hotspur overshadowed by allegations of abuse hurled at Antonio Rudiger
Several announcements were made over Tottenham's public address system saying"racist behaviour from spectators is interfering with the game" while referee Anthony Taylor stopped the game to talk to the players.
The German defender was involved in an incident that saw Tottenham's Son Heung-min red-carded just past the hour mark and shortly afterwards indicated that he had been the victim of a monkey gesture from the home section. Lampard played down a suggestion that his players could have walked off, saying the facts needed to be established first.
"We take any such allegations extremely seriously and shall take the strongest possible action against any individual found to be behaving in such a way, including stadium bans." "It is made very clear to us all that if we have heard any racist incident to report it. Altogether we need to make it stop. I hope everything gets clear and we eradicate it as soon as possible."
Tottenham defender Toby Alderweireld said players were "sick of it" when asked about the incident while Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho said "every club was together" in the battle to eradicate racist behaviour from the stands.
