Leeds United players Ethan Ampadu and Largie Ramazani were subjected to racial abuse after Leeds' 2-1 win over Sunderland at Elland Road. A 66-year-old man from Bishop Auckland, County Durham, who was located in the away section, was arrested on suspicion of causing racially aggravated harassment, alarm or distress and has been summoned to appear at Leeds Magistrates Court. Leeds United thanked West Yorkshire Police for their support and stated there is no room for racism in football or society, adding the club will make no further comment. The match featured Pascal Struijk scoring twice after Wilson Isidor's opener and a full-time celebration by Ramazani that provoked tensions.
