Brighton have issued a statement expressing their dismay at recent incidents involving football supporters “that are shaming our sport”.<\/p>\n

This month, a fan threw a banana skin, Raheem Sterling suffered alleged racist abuse, Chelsea fans made anti-Semitic chants and a bottle struck Dele Alli.<\/p>\n

There were also reports of homophobic chants at a Huddersfield-Brighton game.<\/p>\n

Brighton said: “It appears a worrying trend is developing – we wish to play our part to stop this in its tracks.”<\/p>\n

Tottenham fan Averof Panteli, 57, was handed a lifetime ban by the club for throwing the banana skin in the direction of Gunners players during the north London derby at Emirates Stadium on 2 December.<\/p>\n

He was also banned from football for four years and fined.<\/p>\n

After a vocal minority of Chelsea fans chanted offensive songs about Tottenham fans during their team’s Europa League match with MOL Vidi in Hungary on 13 December, anti-discrimination group Fare said some football supporters were using the “political atmosphere as a cover for their own racism andLess than a week earlier, England forward Sterling appeared to be targeted by Chelsea fans behind the goal during Manchester City’s defeat at Stamford Bridge on 8 December and later said that newspapers “fuel racism” by the ways in which they portray young black footballers.<\/p>\n

Arsenal say they have identified an image of the person who threw the bottle at Alli during Wednesday’s Carabao Cup quarter-final, while Huddersfield are investigating the homophobic chanting reports from Brighton’s 2-1 win at the John Smith’s Stadium on 1 December.<\/p>\n

The Seagulls statement continued: “As we head towards 2019, it’s disturbing that some people seem to think it’s acceptable to behave in an anti-social manner at football matches.<\/p>\n

“Racism, homophobia, anti-Semitism, discrimination and violence have no place in society, let alone in a football stadium.”<\/p>\n\n
