Ian Wright praises Rob Holding for reporting racist abuse during Leeds game

Some of Arsenal players were subjected to racist abuse by a Leeds fan.

The Gunners had a comfortable 4-1 win against Leeds United but some unnamed Arsenal players were hurled racist abuses as confirmed by the club.

Leeds United confirmed in a statement that one person has been arrested who was directly involved in the incident.

Gunners legend Ian Wright praised Rob Holding for stepping up to report the abuse directed at some of his teammates.

Wright told Premier League Productions: “You have to applaud people like Rob Holding. When you are being racially abused it’s very difficult to get up and do that as a black person without people coming down and piling on and saying ‘here he goes, here he goes’.

“So for Rob Holding to get up and do that for his teammates is something for me, being in a dressing room and knowing what that’s like wanting that kind of help, that is fantastic.

“What should happen now is he should be found, we should be able to find him because it’s there for everyone to see and he should be prosecuted and banned.”
