Destiny Udogie was subjected to racial abuse on social media after Tottenham's 2-1 victory against Liverpool.
Following Spurs' 2-1 win over Liverpool on Saturday night, the team declared they are "disgusted" by the racist remarks made against Destiny Udogie.
After Joel Matip scored an own goal after 90 minutes in their Premier League matchup against Jurgen Klopp's Reds, Ange Postecoglou's team earned three points.
Following a goal from Tottenham Hotspur by Heung Mi Son, Cody Gakpo scored the equalizer for Liverpool.
Tottenham pressure on nine men in the game's final minutes Matip's deflection of the ball into his own team's goal helped Liverpool win.
The 20-year- Tottenham defender was regrettably the target of racial abuse online after the game after being part in one of the game's major talking points in the second half.
Liverpool was already down one player after Curtis Jones' dismissal, and in the 69th minute when Diogo Jota was expelled for two bookable offenses, they were down to nine men.
Both times, it was determined that Udogie had been fouled; the left-back received his first booking of the game for what looked to be a minor infraction before fouling the Italian shortly after, earning him a second yellow card.
After the game, Udogie tweeted on social media to celebrate the victory, but he was unluckily met with a lot of racist comments, which Tottenham vehemently rejects.
