Warinder Juss, Labour MP for Wolverhampton and a football fan, pledged to escalate the case to ask government ministers about working with social media companies to prevent offensive comments from appearing.
The politician added: “When something like this happens, it affects me at another level personally, because for years I did not go to a football match [as] I was always told I would be racially abused [for] my appearance and the colour of my skin.
“My other concern is sadly racism seems to be rising in society in general, and I think it’s pouring onto our terraces again, which is really sad because I remember the 1970s and we really need to take strong swift action.
“We cannot carry on having this racial abuse of our players every time something goes wrong on the pitch, it’s happened before and it will happen again unless we take action.”
