Toney and Henry allege racial abuse at Everton

Everton have confirmed they are assisting police after two Brentford players said their families were racially abused at Goodison Park.

Everton said: “There is no place in football – or society – for racism.

“We are assisting Merseyside Police to ensure the individual is identified and dealt with appropriately.”

Henry, 24, who scored Brentford’s winning goal, tweeted: “I never usually speak out on things that don’t physically harm me or my family but to see my mom upset after being racially abused by a few Everton fans brought fire to my stomach!”

Toney said: “And for the man that racially abused my family I’ll do everything I can to get you the punishment you deserve!”
