A man who was arrested on suspicion of racially abusing Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo during the opening match of the Premier League season at Anfield has been bailed.
The Cherries’ Friday game against Liverpool was briefly halted in the 29th minute after Semenyo flagged it up to the referee.
A 47-year-old man from Liverpool, who was arrested on suspicion of a racially aggravated public order offence, has been conditionally bailed, Merseyside Police said.
The conditions include a ban on attending any regulated football match in the UK and not going within one mile of a designated football stadium.
The force said the investigation into the incident was ongoing and it was working closely with Liverpool Football Club.
