West Ham have vowed to take immediate action against a group of apparent supporters filmed engaging in anti-Semitic chants prior to Saturday’s Premier League match against Manchester United.
A video circulating on social media shows the group chanting abuse about rivals Tottenham on a tram prior to the match at Old Trafford, which the Hammers lost 2-1.
A club spokesman said: “We are disgusted by the contents of the video circulating on social media this evening.
“We are taking immediate action to try to identify the offenders, whose details we will be handing over to the police and will be banned for life from London Stadium and from travelling with the club.”
The incident comes just two days after a group of Chelsea supporters were filmed singing an Islamophobic chant prior to their Europa League match against Slavia Prague.
The West Ham statement continued: “West Ham United is unequivocal in its stance – there is no place for this kind of behaviour at our club.
“We do not want people like this associated with West Ham United. They are not welcome at our club, they are not welcome in civilised society.”
