Fulham condemn 'abhorrent' Bassey abuse

Fulham have condemned the "abhorrent" racist and homophobic online abuse directed at defender Calvin Bassey following Sunday's FA Cup penalty shootout win at Manchester United.

Nigeria defender Bassey, who scored the opening goal at Old Trafford, shared some examples of the unsavoury abuse he had received on social media.

"We strongly condemn this abhorrent behaviour which has no place in football or society," Fulham said in a statement.

"Such actions are entirely unacceptable, and we stand in full support of Calvin Bassey, who will continue to receive our full backing.
