Adam Smith, captain of the Bournemouth team, commented on the racist insults directed at his teammate Antoine Semenyo during the first round of the English Premier League match against Liverpool. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
Semenyo was insulted by spectators in the first half of the game, but after the break, he scored twice, increasing his team's tally. According to Adam Smith, it is surprising that such incidents still occur nowadays, and measures need to be taken to address this problem.
He also emphasized that the act of taking a knee yielded no results. In the end, Liverpool won the match 4-2.
Goals for the hosts were scored by Hugo Ekitike, Cody Gakpo, Federico Chiesa, and Mohamed Salah. At the end of the game, Liverpool scored two goals in the final minutes to equalize and then secure the victory.
This incident once again highlighted the urgency of combating racism. Players and teams must unite to fight against such unacceptable behavior.
