Leeds United have condemned the racist abuse sent to defender Jayden Bogle on social media following Saturday's 1-0 Premier League win over Tottenham Hotspur at Elland Road.

In a statement released on Sunday, the club said it was appalled at the "disgusting, racist social media abuse" the 26-year-old suffered after the match. Leeds said there was no place for racism in football or society, that Bogle had the club's full and unconditional support, and that it would work with the Premier League and the relevant authorities to identify those responsible and push for the strongest possible action against them.

The abuse followed the most controversial incident of the match. In the first half, Bogle caught Tottenham forward Mathys Tel on the ankle with his studs during a tackle. Referee John Brooks showed no card, and after a lengthy video assistant referee review officials decided there had been no serious foul play. Bogle stayed on the pitch and played 89 minutes, while Tel needed extended treatment and was later substituted. Tottenham head coach Roberto De Zerbi described the injury as a bad one after the game.

The messages sent to Bogle included racist comments and offensive emojis, as well as messages wishing harm on his wife and children. Tottenham also issued a statement on Sunday evening, saying the club was disgusted to hear of the abuse and had offered Leeds its support in identifying those responsible. "We will pursue every available avenue to ensure they are identified and face the full consequences of their actions," Tottenham said.

Leeds said nobody should ever be subjected to racist abuse, and the club's message was echoed across the game. The incident is the latest in a series of cases of online abuse aimed at Premier League players this season. Anti-discrimination group Kick It Out said in April that reports of online abuse were at record levels, rising by a third on the previous season.

Earlier this year, Burnley midfielder Hannibal Mejbri, Chelsea defender Wesley Fofana, Wolverhampton Wanderers striker Tolu Arokodare and Sunderland winger Romaine Mundle were all targeted over the same weekend in February. Tottenham defender Kevin Danso was also targeted in April, shortly after Sunderland striker Brian Brobbey had been abused following an incident in a match against Spurs.

Leeds will now work with the Premier League and the authorities to trace the accounts behind the messages sent to Bogle. The club has asked for the strongest possible action to be taken against anyone identified.
