    Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has described Tuesday’s racism incident involving a group of Chelsea fans as ‘pathetic and dreadful’.

    Chelsea are working hard behind the scenes to act on the incident which saw a number of Chelsea fans push a black man and stop him from boarding a train on the Paris underground, before directing racist chants in his direction.

    Video footage of the incident has occurred and three supporters have already been suspended by the Premier League leaders.

    When asked about the incident in this morning’s press conference, Wenger said: “It looked pathetic and dreadful. Unfortunately we have all kinds of that but we have to be extremely severe with any incident of that calibre.

    “It is society’s problem. Nobody has found a miraculous solution but it starts from childhood and education.

    “There is a danger of radical people in every society. There is always a number of people ready for radical solutions and you have to find a way to deal with that.”
