(Reuters) - Clubs whose fans are found guilty of being involved in racist incidents must have points docked and forced to play their games behind closed doors, according to West Ham United forward Michail Antonio.

A number of racist incidents have come to light in the Premier League this season with Liverpool's Mohamed Salah the latest victim at West Ham's London Stadium, where racial slurs were directed at the Egypt international last week.
