Norwich City have released a statement after Irish international Adam Idah was racially abused on social media after the Canaries lost to Crystal Palace last night.
The statement reads: "Following our game at Crystal Palace, the club were disappointed to learn of both online racist comments directed at some of our players, as well as alleged in-stadia racist comments directed at opposing players by our supporters. Such behaviour is not welcome in following and supporting Norwich City.
"The club will continue to support those players affected, whilst demanding action from social media companies to ensure that users are held accountable for their unacceptable behaviour. The club have also reported the incident to Norfolk Police.
"An individual has also been identified and an investigation is ongoing following the alleged racist comments directed at Crystal Palace’s players. No player, whether our player or an opposition player, should be subject to this type of abuse.
"All at Norwich City will continue to do everything we can to eradicate all forms of unlawful discrimination from the game. Where identified, the club will support and impose the strongest possible sanctions against perpetrators of this behaviour."
Idah made just his second league start of the season as the Canaries slumped to yet another loss in what has been a hugely disappointing season so far.
A user on Instagram sent numerous monkey emojis to the striker, who posted them to his story on the social media network.
