Chelsea have ordered their own fans to stop singing an anti-Semitic song about record signing Alvaro Morata after the striker scored his third goal for the club.
A section of the travelling supporters at the King Power Stadium sang ‘Alvaro, oh, Alvaro, oh. He came from Real Madrid, he hates the ****ing Yids’ in reference to Chelsea’s rivalry with Tottenham Hotspur.
But Chelsea, whose owner Roman Abramovich is the chairman of the Federation of Jewish Communities of Russia, issued a statement that said: “The club and the players appreciate the fans’ passionate support away from home. But the language in that song is not acceptable at all. We’ve spoken to Alvaro after the game. He does not want to be connected with that song in any way and both the club and the player request the supporters stop singing that song with immediate effect.”
