Everton fan arrested for racist abuse toward Semenyo as City support pours in
A fan was arrested during the Everton vs City clash for racially abusing Antoine Semenyo, while City backs Semenyo and Guehi amid online abuse.
An Everton vs Manchester City clash was marred by the arrest of a fan on suspicion of racially abusing Antoine Semenyo, with Merseyside Police confirming an investigation is ongoing.
Manchester City said they would offer their support to Semenyo and Marc Guehi after both were subjected to online abuse in the wake of the game, Guehi having been targeted following a mistake that led to an Everton goal.
Analysts and fans debated key decisions from the match, including an offside scenario that saw Thierno Barry gain from a Guehi‑set up for a goal, sparking questions about the fairness of certain calls and other major decisions.
Everton publicly recognised the swift response from supporters condemning the abuse, and authorities continue to pursue the case while clubs reiterate their commitment to tackling discrimination.
