Everton and Liverpool condemn racist abuse directed towards Abdoulaye Doucoure

Everton and Liverpool have condemned the racist abuse directed towards Abdoulaye Doucoure after the final Merseyside derby at Goodison Park.

The former Mali international and Curtis Jones were sent off for second bookable offences following the final whistle after scuffling, when the Reds midfielder took exception to his opponent’s celebrations in front of visiting fans, in reaction to James Tarkowski’s equaliser in the eighth minute of added time.

Doucoure was subsequently targeted with abuse on social media after the 2-2 Premier League draw.
