game between Chelsea and Manchester United seemed to resurface last
night in a League Cup fourth round tie incidentally, between the same
clubsides.
Unacceptable: The Chelsea Fan (Circled) Appears To Make A Monkey
Gesture Towards Welbeck After The Striker Mis-controls The Ball
A Chelsea fan was pictured in the stands apparently directing a
'monkey' gesture at Manchester United striker Danny Welbeck which has
prompted the Stamford Bridge side to launch an investigation.
A Chelsea spokesman said: "Chelsea Football Club can confirm we are
investigating an incident involving a member of the crowd at last
night's game against Manchester United.
"The club will be examining all available footage and asks anyone who
can identify the individual to contact the club.
"Chelsea FC is committed to removing all forms of discrimination and
if we have sufficient evidence we will take the strongest possible
action, including supporting criminal prosecution."
Meanwhile this is as John Mikel Obi has consistently told Chelsea
officials that he wanted to pursue the case against Clattenburg after
the official allegedly told him to 'shut it, monkey' during Chelsea's
3-2 defeat against Manchester United on Sunday.
