Arsenal have launched an investigation after a video emerged online of a supporter racially abusing Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly.
In a Snapchat video shot during the Europa League quarter-final clash at the Emirates, the culprit can be heard using the ‘n-word’ to refer to Koulibaly – with the word also written across the screen for part of the 15-second recording.

The Gunners beat the Italian club 2-0, but much like Chelsea’s victory over Slavia Prague, the result has been marred by racism.
On the same night, Blues fans filmed themselves chanting ‘Salah is a bomber’ in a Czech pub.

“We utterly condemn use of this type of racist language and have launched an investigation to identify the culprit,” Arsenal said in a statement.
“We operate a zero tolerance approach and anyone behaving like this is not welcome at Arsenal and will be banned from matches.
