One such incident was reported to authorities by a Jewish ​Arsenal fan, as quoted by the ​Mail, and resulted in the ejection of the alleged offender.

The unnamed supporter said: "I was scared. The chants about circumcision had been going on and on, but I am almost used to that by now.


"Then after the second goal he started singing about "gassing the f****** Yids.

"I said, 'please, please stop'. I then pointed him out to stewards. He charged towards me and tried to punch me and a steward blocked him. He was saying, 'I'm f*****g Arsenal, be united with me.' Why would I want to be united with him?"

The Mail also reports that during the game another supporter was caught on camera making an anti-semitic gesture towards ​Tottenham fans.
