Arsenal and Kick It Out slam Valencia fans for making Nazi and monkey gestures during Europa League clash

Valencia fans have been firmed performing Nazi salutes and making monkey noises during their defeat to Arsenal.


A double from Alexandre Lacazette and a late Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang strike completed a remarkable 3-1 comeback during the first leg of the Europa League semi-final.


But a video on Twitter posted by Telegraph journalist Tomé Morissy-Swan shows travelling supporters making one-armed salutes and imitating monkeys.

Six Valencia fans were removed from the stadium, but it is unclear if these are the individuals involved in the video.


The Gunners released a statement in response to the incident which read: â€Å“We are working with Valencia on this. We utterly condemn such behaviour. It has no place in society or football.


â€Å“We continue to encourage fans to report  incidents and to provide witness statements so effective action can be taken.”


La Liga side Valencia have also released a statement condemning the actions of the moronic individuals.





“In relation to the images in the stands of Arsenal Stadium appearing on social networks, Valencia CF:


“1. Publicly condemns bluntly and expresses its firmest rejection and zero tolerance, as it has always done, towards the isolated gestures of people located in the visitor’s stand and that, evidently, do not represent in any way the Valencian fans.


“2. In contact with its legal services, it is working on the identification of the responsible persons to proceed, in case of being subscribed to the club, to take the corresponding disciplinary measures, for which requests the collaboration of the rest of the fans located in said tier .


“3. Although these attitudes are absolutely unjustifiable in any case, the VCF is trying to obtain information, in the same way, about possible provocations prior to said verbal and gestural confrontation between people from the local and visitor stands.”





The Gunners have a 3-1 advantage ahead of the second leg at the Mestalla

Racism has blighted the game across Europe this season, with UEFA expected to open disciplinary proceedings.


Equality and inclusion organisation Kick It Out also released a statement condemning the acts of blatant racism.


â€Å“These blatant racist gestures are shocking and inexcusable,” a statement read.


â€Å“We hope the relevant authorities identify the perpetrators and take the strongest possible punishment.


â€Å“There is no place for any form of discrimination in football or society.”
