CHELSEA are investigating possible racist abuse aimed at Son Heung-min during Sunday’s London derby at Stamford Bridge.
The incident in question occurred when the South Korean went over to take a corner in the second half.

And the Spurs star received abuse from the Shed End as he took the set-piece.
According to The Athletic, footage has emerged which shows a racist gesture aimed at the player.
Back in April 2021, three Manchester United season-ticket holders were suspended after abusing Son online in the wake of the Red Devils’ 3-1 win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
And two years prior to that, a West Ham supporter was fined for racially abusing Son during a Carabao Cup match.
The match on Sunday ended in a 2-2 draw following a fiery encounter between Chelsea and Tottenham.
Kalidou Koulibaly gave the hosts a first-half lead with a sumptuous volley from a corner.
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg levelled things up midway through the second half.
But Reece James then put Thomas Tuchel’s side back in front with 13 minutes remaining.
It looked as though Chelsea were going to hold on for a deserved three points.
But in stoppage-time, Harry Kane rose to head home a dramatic late equaliser to snatch a point for the visitors.
And the drama continued after the final whistle as Tuchel and Antonio Conte almost came to blows for a second time in the afternoon, exchanging verbals after an explosive handshake.
Both managers received red cards for their actions.
Chelsea travel to Leeds in the Premier League this weekend, while Spurs host Wolves.
