A 47-year-old man, who was arrested after the Premier League’s season opener on Friday due to alleged racist abuse, has been banned from attending any regulated soccer match in the United Kingdom.

The opening match of the new season was paused in the first-half after Semenyo reported an alleged incident of racist abuse.

The Premier League has said it will launch a full investigation after Liverpool 's curtain-raiser against Bournemouth at Anfield was halted when visiting forward Antoine Semenyo reported being racially abused by a spectator.
