Jess Naz, a 24-year-old Tottenham forward, reported receiving racial abuse via direct messages on social media after Tottenham's penalty-shootout victory over Aston Villa in the Women's League Cup. She said she had planned to wait until after the game but is done being quiet and described racism as unacceptable while calling for steps to prevent it happening again. Tottenham condemned the abuse, pledged support for Naz, and said it is working with authorities and social media platforms to identify and take the strongest action against those responsible. Naz joined Tottenham from Arsenal in 2018 and has six England caps.
