(Reuters) - Tottenham Hotspur condemned the "abhorrent" racial abuse of South Korean forward Son Heung-min on social media after he was targeted following Sunday's 3-1 Premier League defeat by Manchester United.

Son went down clutching his face after being accidentally caught by Scott McTominay in the build-up to an Edinson Cavani goal that was controversially ruled out after a VAR check.
