Forward targeted on social media after missing penalty
Spurs working to take ‘strongest possible action’
Tottenham have said they are “disgusted” after the forward Mathys Tel received racial abuse on social media after Wednesday’s Uefa Super Cup defeat by Paris St Germain. Tel missed in the penalty shootout, which Tottenham lost 4-3 after they had surrendered a late 2-0 lead to draw 2-2.
The France Under-21 international, whose loan from Bayern Munich was made permanent in a £30m deal in June, was targeted with abuse after firing his effort wide.
