​Spurs ejected teenage Burnley fan over Son abuse

Tottenham had a teenage Burnley fan evicted from the stadium due to racial abuse towards Heung-min Son.

The South Korean star, who scored a sensational solo goal to help his side to a 5-0 win, was the subject of some racist discrimination.

It appears the stewards immediately caught the incident and ejected the fan, per the Evening Standard.

Neither Spurs or Burnley have released any other updates about the incident, as they want to get more information before commenting.

It is not the first incident of racism in the Premier League, as a Manchester City supporter was seen making monkey gestures towards Manchester United stars Jesse Lingard and Fred during their derby on Sunday.

It is unclear if the teenage Burnley fan faces any other consequences, such as a stadium ban.
