Chelsea make complaint over Benayoun abuse …

“Notwithstanding most fans behaving appropriately on the night, we believe Yossi was subjected to anti-Semitic abuse by a number of supporters at the game.                                                                                              

“Such behaviour is offensive, totally unacceptable and has no place in football.                                                                                                                    

Before adding: “The club did not make representations at the time as it was initially unclear as to the nature of the abuse Yossi received, as several players from both teams experienced similar treatment, sometimes louder and longer.                                                                                                                                                                                              

But went on to acknowledge: “Our stay in Malaysia was, on the whole, a very positive experience for all the team travelling on the pre-season tour. It is a shame, therefore, that the behaviour of a minority of supporters is also a memory we take away.”
