Leeds United face a Premier League investigation after Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta confirmed some of his players had been racially abused by a fan during his side's 4-1 win at Elland Road.
The Gunners cashed in against a depleted Leeds side, who were without 10 first team players through injury and suspension, but the Londoners' classy display was marred by football's latest racist incident.
Arteta said: “Yes, unfortunately I can confirm that. It was reported to the stadium manager. The authorities will deal with that.
“The players that were sitting on the bench. One of those heard those comments.
“I don't know exactly (which player) it was, that's why they will have to be interviewed by the authorities."
Referee Andre Marriner briefly halted play in the 34th minute to consult with match officials after the abuse had been reported.
Arteta added on Sky Sports: " But it was a single person and I don't think that merits a full stadium to pay the price.
“It was a single incident, it has to be reported. It was reported and now the authorities will have to work with the clubs to try to understand what happened."
