Tottenham have confirmed that the Metropolitan Police have closed the crime report on the alleged racist abuse directed at Antonio Rudiger during Chelsea's 2-0 win at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium prior to Christmas.
The Chelsea defender reported hearing abuse during the second half of the game shortly after Son Heung-min had been sent off for kicking out at him.
The German international complained to Blues captain Cesar Azpilicueta and three announcements were made over the tannoy about racist behaviour during the match.
With Spurs conducting a thorough investigation following the complaints, the club have today released another statement and stated that the police can find no evidence to support the allegation of racial abuse.
"The Club and the Metropolitan Police have now exhausted all avenues of investigation following the reported incident at our home fixture against Chelsea on 22 December," read a statement on Spurs' official website .
"We carried out extensive reviews of CCTV images and footage, working with professional lip readers. All materials and reports have now also been reviewed by the police who have carried out their own investigation.
"The police have notified us today that, having reviewed and investigated, they have closed the crime report as they can find no evidence to support the allegation of racial abuse.
"We fully support Antonio Rudiger with the action that he took - however there is no evidence to corroborate or contradict the allegation and as such neither ourselves nor the police are in a position to take any further action.
"We are fiercely proud of our anti-racism work and our zero tolerance of any form of discrimination. This is one reason why we have attributed so much time and resource to investigating this matter.
"Had we identified anyone guilty of this we were intent on issuing them with a lifetime ban from our stadium as they would have no place among our proud, diverse fan base.
"If any new information comes to light, this will be fully investigated."
