LONDON (REUTERS) - Arsenal have launched an investigation into the racist abuse suffered by Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly during their 2-0 Europa League quarter-final first leg victory on Thursday (April 11).
A Snapchat video emerged on social media after the match where a fan at the Emirates Stadium can be heard using a racist term towards the Senegalese.
"We utterly condemn the use of any racist language and have launched an investigation to identify the culprit," an Arsenal spokesman said.
"We operate a zero tolerance approach and anyone behaving like this is not welcome at Arsenal and will be banned from matches.
"We have an extremely diverse community of fans who are all part of the Arsenal family and such incidents are rare at Emirates Stadium."
Koulibaly has become a symbol of the battle against racism in Italian soccer since being subjected to racist insults from some Inter Milan fans during a Serie A match in December.
Elsewhere on Thursday, three Chelsea fans were stopped from entering Slavia Prague's stadium for their Europa League game after an alleged racist chant about Liverpool's Egyptian striker Mohamed Salah circulated on social media.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp denied on Friday that his Premier League leaders will have the upper hand over Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur in the title race despite a lighter schedule after crashing out of both domestic cup competitions.
