Police say a man arrested on suspicion of racially abusing Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo during a Premier League game has been released on conditional bail.

Liverpool ’s 4-2 win over Bournemouth was marred by a fan of the former allegedly hurling racial abuse at Antoine Semenyo – and Merseyside Police have now confirmed that a man has been conditionally bailed after being arrested the day after the match.

The opening match of the new season was paused in the first-half after Semenyo reported an alleged incident of racist abuse.
