Before the duel with Aston Villa on Sunday, Wilfried Zaha, a striker from Crystal Palace, had posted racist messages received by a supporter of their opponents. The international ivorian reacted on Monday on the social networks. “We need action, education, things have to change,” he wrote on Twitter.
on Sunday evening, the West Midlands Police announced they had arrested the author of the messages, which made reference to the Ku Klux Klan : a boy 12 years of age, a native of Solihull. “People should understand that, regardless of their age, their behavior and their words have consequences and they can’t hide behind social networks,” added team-mate Christian Benteke.
