As a response to the situation, Brentford FC issued a statement in condemning the act.
“Last night another incident of disgusting, racist abuse was directed towards one of our players, this time Frank Onyeka, on social media,” read the statement on the club’s official website.
“It is hugely disappointing that one of our players has had to deal with this yet again. This week the Online Safety Bill was passed – we hope that its implementation will make social media safer and that it will support our efforts to hold these cowards and the social media companies themselves to account.
“Frank has our full support at this time as we instigate our investigations with the authorities.
“We remain committed to tackling discrimination throughout our game.”
