Statement from the Premier League

Following a meeting of all 20 Premier League Clubs the League has today issued the following statement:

"The English game has been at the forefront of tackling racist behaviour and other forms of discrimination.

"Everybody in the game in England understands any form of racism is totally unacceptable.

"There are still issues, as there are in society, so with our partners, Kick It Out, the PFA and The FA, we must remain committed and vigilant to maintaining the standards we have set and confronting any incidents that occur.

"There is no place for discrimination in football and we will continue to strive to eliminate it."
