Tottenham Hotspur forward Mathys Tel said he would not allow the racial abuse directed at him online following his side’s UEFA Super Cup defeat by Paris St-Germain bring him down.<\/p>\n

Spurs said they were “disgusted” by the abuse aimed at the 20-year-old Frenchman, who missed a spot-kick during their penalty shootout defeat by PSG in Italy last Wednesday.<\/p>\n

“I was also disappointed about Wednesday night but racism has no place in our society,” Tel posted on social media on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

“I know where I come from, where I started and none of this will bring me down. With work and humility, respect reigns.”<\/p>\n

Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo was also subjected to racist abuse during his side’s 4-2 defeat by Liverpool at Anfield on Friday. A 47-year-old man from Liverpool, who was arrested on suspicion of racially abusing Semenyo, has been conditionally bailed and banned from attending soccer matches.<\/p>\n
