The Premier League’s opening weekend was marred by a disturbing incident at Anfield, where Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo reported being racially abused during his side’s clash against Liverpool.

The arrested individual has since been conditionally bailed, with strict terms:
🚫 A ban from attending any regulated football match in the UK.
🚷 Prohibited from going within one mile of any designated football stadium.
Authorities have also stated that the investigation remains ongoing, with police working closely alongside Liverpool Football Club to ensure the matter is handled thoroughly.
💬 Semenyo’s Response
The 25-year-old Ghana international took to social media to express gratitude for the solidarity shown:
> "The night at Anfield will stay with me forever because of how the entire football family stood together."
