Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo has urged football authorities and the legal system to consider prison terms as punishment for racist abuse in the sport.

His comments follow what he described as a "painful" incident of abuse directed at him during Bournemouth's Premier League opener against Liverpool.

The Ghana international, who scored twice in his side's 4-2 defeat at Anfield, reported the matter to referee Anthony Taylor after allegedly being targeted by a pitch-side spectator.

Merseyside Police later arrested a 47-year-old man, who has since been released on bail on suspicion of an aggravated public order offence.
