Fans found to have behaved in an abusive or discriminatory way will be banned from every Premier League ground under new rules agreed by top flight clubs for the coming season.
The tough new measure, which applies to online and offline abuse, comes after vile treatment of Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka , who were targeted by racists following their penalty misses for England against Italy in the Euro 2020 final.
And earlier today, a landmark was reached when more than one million people have signed a petition calling for people who racially abuse footballers to be banned from grounds for life.
