A 47-year-old man from Liverpool has been arrested after Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo was subjected to racist abuse during Friday night's Premier League opener at Anfield, Merseyside Police have confirmed.
The suspect was detained on Saturday on suspicion of a racially aggravated public order offence and remains in custody for questioning.
The incident occurred in the 29th minute of the first half when Semenyo reported the abuse to referee Anthony Taylor, prompting a brief stoppage in play.
The man was immediately ejected from the stadium.
