Wolves striker Tolu Arokodare and Sunderland winger Romaine Mundle have become the latest Premier League players to be sent racist abuse on social media. It came on what was described as an "appalling weekend" when four footballers from the top tier of the English game are known to have been targeted. Arokodare and Mundle received messages on Sunday, a day after Burnley midfielder Hannibal Mejbri and Chelsea defender Wesley Fofana both received racist abuse on Instagram after their sides drew 1-1 at Stamford Bridge. Anti-discrimination group Kick It Out said on Sunday evening: "This has been an appalling weekend after four players called out the racist abuse they've received on social media. Wolves said they were "disgusted" after Arokodare was sent abuse by "multiple perpetrators" following his side's 1-0 loss at Crystal Palace and they condemned the "abhorrent and unlawful behaviour in the strongest possible terms".
