Leeds condemn racist abuse of Jayden Bogle

Leeds United have denounced the "disgusting" racist abuse aimed at defender Jayden Bogle online following their 1-0 victory against Tottenham on Saturday.

The 26-year-old player was targeted after a first-half tackle on Mathys Tel resulted in the Spurs forward leaving the pitch injured. Although the full-back made contact with the back of Tel's ankle using his studs, referee John Brooks opted against a punishment after a lengthy video assistant referee review.

Tottenham are preparing to lodge a formal complaint regarding the decision not to send off Bogle and intend to write to the refereeing body Pro Ref for an explanation. Leeds expressed they were "appalled" by the social media abuse directed at Bogle and stated that the club condemned the behaviour "in the strongest possible terms."

"There is no place for racism in football or society," a club statement read. The organisation confirmed it will collaborate with the Premier League and relevant authorities to identify the individuals involved and advocate for the "strongest possible action to be taken against them."
