TOTTENHAM Hotspur fans have been subjected to a string of vile anti-Semitic messages on social media after drawing with Chelsea and handing Leicester City the Premier League title.
Spurs fans faced racial slurs following their 2-2 draw with Chelsea
Spurs looked set to take the title race to the penultimate match after racing into a 2-0 lead at Stamford Bridge last night.
But goals from Gary Cahill and Eden Hazard rounded off a thrilling comeback from the hosts in a tempestuous London derby.
Many referenced Hitler in a string of vile tweets
The result meant Leicester City are crowned champions but the jubilation has taken a dark turn as many took to Twitter to mock Tottenham fans with a host of anti-Semitic slurs.
The North London side has a rich Jewish heritage and many sick Twitter users took aim at the club’s history and made reference to Nazi leader Adolf Hitler.
One user wrote: “Hitler smiling in his grave as Spurs bottle the title.

Another user added: “Spurs gone from being beat by hitler too being beat in a tittle race by Leicester”.
Tottenham needed to win at Chelsea for the first time since February 10, 1990 but failed to capitalise on their 2-0 half-time lead, giving rank outsiders Leicester their first league triumph.
Twitter users were delighted by Mauricio Pochettino’s side’s slip up and took aim once more at the end of the match.

@RichardBenn92 tweeted: “Fair balls to Leicester but you gotta feel for Spurs. After what Hitler did to the Jews they deserved this one.”
