ARSENAL have vowed to work with the police and relevant authorities after Nicolas Pepe and Ezgjan Alioski were both victims of disgraceful racist abuse online.
The pair had clashed in the match between Leeds and Arsenal's main flashpoint, when Pepe, 25, was red carded for a headbutt on Alioski, 28.
And once again a number of idiotic fans turned to disgusting abuse while venting their frustrations.
An Arsenal statement on the matter read: "We utterly condemn the vile abuse directed at Nicolas Pepe and Ezgjan Alioski on social media following our match against Leeds United.
"This is completely unacceptable and we will be working with the police and authorities to do everything we can to trace and prosecute the culprits."
