Premier League: West Brom's Callum Robinson Scores 2 at Chelsea, Gets Racial Abuse

News 18  

West Bromwich Albion contacted the police over racist abuse sent on social media to Callum Robinson after the forward scored twice in a 5-2 victory at Chelsea in the Premier League on Saturday. Monkey emojis were sent on Instagram to Robinson, who is Black, from an account purporting to be a Chelsea fan but without a full name or photo. “The club is appalled by the messages and will offer Callum the help and support he may require in response to the incident,” West Brom said in a statement. West Brom remain second bottom but their first league win at Chelsea since 1978 gives them a glimmer of hope in the fight to avoid relegation.
