Sheffield United have condemned racist abuse and threats aimed towards goalkeeper Wes Foderingham following the 2-1 Premier League defeat at Tottenham.<\/p>\n

Foderingham,\u00a0 who made a string of fine saves to deny Spurs before conceding two goals in added time, said in an Instagram post on Saturday night:\u00a0 \u201cI don\u2019t mind opposition fans calling me every name under the sun. But be easy with the racism and family threats. Think before you type.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Blades responded on Sunday morning offering support for their keeper and promising to investigate.<\/p>\n

A statement read: \u201cSheffield United condemn the racist, abusive and threatening messages that have been sent to Wes Foderingham after yesterday\u2019s game against Spurs.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe club will now work with relevant bodies to investigate and support Wes.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no room for racism in our game.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tottenham also responded with a statement of their own offering to assist Sheffield United with their investigation and ban any Spurs fans found to be responsible for the abuse.<\/p>\n

The Spurs statement read: \u201cWe are disgusted to hear of racist, abusive and threatening messages sent to Wes Foderingham following yesterday\u2019s match.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Club stands firmly against all forms of discrimination and will cooperate fully with Sheffield United and the relevant bodies in their investigations.<\/p>\n

\n

We are disgusted to hear of racist, abusive and threatening messages sent to Wes Foderingham following yesterday\u2019s match<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cWe shall not hesitate in taking the strongest possible action, including Club bans, against any so-called fan found responsible.\u201d<\/p>\n

Paul Heckingbottom\u2019s side were 1-0 up heading into the closing stages at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium thanks to a Gus Hamer opener.<\/p>\n

But late goals from Richarlison and Dejan Kulusevski turned the game around and the Blades are still winless from their opening five fixtures.<\/p>\n
