Ivan Toney has hit out on social media after his family members were allegedly racially abused at Goodison Park. Merseyside police are investigating the claims made after Brentford’s 3-2 win against Everton. Former Newcastle United striker Toney posted a defiant message on Twitter following the game and has now opened up about the incident to Sky Sports.
Ivan Toney said: “It’s sad that I’m still having to sit here and talk about racism without my family just going to a game like any normal person and having a normal day. Emotions sometimes get the better of people but it should never come out that is a reason for being racist. You can be angry with certain results but never should you jump to discriminate against someone by the colour of their skin. We can’t paint all the Everton fans the same way, I’m sure it’s just one, silly individual and the embarrassment of it is I believe his son had to grab him away from doing further damage. It’s just disgusting and we need to put an end to it as soon as possible.”
