UEFA investigating Chelsea fans over alleged anti-semitic chanting during Europa League tie

The club’s supporters have made the headlines again for all the wrong reasons

Chelsea supporters have been accused of using anti-semitic chants during their team’s Europa League tie in Hungary on Thursday night, after the blues drew 2-2 against MOL Vidi in Budapest.

The news follows a police investigation into alleged racist abuse aimed at Raheem Sterling at Stamford Bridge last weekend which led to the club suspending four men.

UEFA will not act until reviewing reports from match officials and their own match delegate tonight. A decision will then be made on whether to take the matter further.

Charges against football clubs are usually filed within 24 hours.

According to The Telegraph, a sizeable group of Chelsea supporters could be heard chanting abuse about “Yids” only minutes into the Group L clash.

The club took 1,273 fans to the Groupama Arena in Hungary’s capital but would have been hoping for a peaceful evening following last week’s racial abuse of Raheem Sterling from a supporter.
