Everton Football Club was made aware of an alleged incident of racism following our fixture against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday 3 November.

After a thorough investigation, which included reviewing CCTV footage, speaking to witnesses and working alongside officers from Merseyside Police, Everton officials have concluded there was no evidence of racist behaviour.

Everton takes all reports of hate crime seriously and would like to reaffirm that any such behaviour has no place online, in our stadium, our Club, our community or our game.

If anyone witnesses such behaviour at a match, around the stadium or online, they can report it to a matchday steward, the police, online via the Kick It Out reporting app or directly to the Club by emailing ReportIt@evertonfc.com
