Striker Bukayo Saka suffered Racial abuse on social media as Arsenal drew 2-2.
The England international missed a penalty in the encounter at the London Stadium, as Arsenal blew a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 with the Hammers and depart East London with a point.
If he had scored, Arsenal would have secured a crucial three points as the season neared its conclusion.
Mikel Arteta’s club is still top of the Premier League table, but they will need a victory against Manchester City on April 26.
The abuse Saka is receiving on social media tonight has echoes of what he received when he missed a crucial penalty for England in the Euro 2020 final.
He has since become one of the national team’s most important players, with an outstanding performance in December’s World Cup.
After today’s game, Saka was sent several racist messages on social media – which The Mirror has chosen not to repeat – while a number of users have already condemned the posts.
