The ex-Spurs chairman has been criticised for 'a shocking, vile tweet' which he claimed was simply a joke after being asked to delete it from Twitter
Former Tottenham owner Lord Alan Sugar has caused online controversy with an offensive tweet after Senegal's 2-1 win over Poland.
The North African side won their first game at the 2018 World Cup, having returned to the tournament for the first time since 2002. An own goal and a second-half strike from M'Baye Niang gave Senegal all three points to go joint-top of Group H with Japan.
Football fans around the world celebrated Senegal's surprise win, but Sugar's attempted joke about the victory backfired spectacularly with the ex-Spurs chief being accused of racism for his ill-advised comment and photo.
