Swansea fan arrested for alleged racial abuse

SWANSEA, England (AP) -Swansea says a fan has been arrested for allegedly making a racist gesture toward Norwich defender Sebastien Bassong during Saturday's Premier League match.

The incident took place after Robert Snodgrass scored Norwich's fourth goal in the 77th minute of a 4-3 win at Swansea.

Bassong, who had scored earlier in the game, went to celebrate with his teammates but quickly motioned to referee Howard Webb that he believed he had been the victim of a racist gesture.

Webb then reported the incident to the fourth official.

Swansea says "within 10 minutes of the report the stewards had got hold of the TV footage, replayed it, identified the alleged person in question and within that period he was arrested for a racially aggravated public order offense.''
