Fulham footballer, Cyrus Christie, has accused supporters of the football club of beating and racially abusing his sister after they lost their first game of the season.

On Saturday, August 3, the EFL Championship club lost 1-0 to Barnsley. After the game, Christie said his sister was attacked by a male Fulham fan, with his wife justifying his actions with ‘racist remarks’.

He wrote on Twitter after the game:

‘To the Fulham fan that decided to hit my sister at the game today and his wife who justified his action with racist remarks I hope your proud of yourself and feel like a big man. 

‘You’ll get what’s coming to you. Regardless how you felt about the result your actions are shameful.’

The football club has now launched an investigation into the incident, and promised to ‘take the strongest action possible’.

A statement from Fulham on Twitter read:

‘Fulham Football Club is investigating an incident which took place in the away end at the Barnsley v Fulham fixture this afternoon.

‘Should the perpetrators be identified, the Club will be taking the strongest possible action.’
