LONDON (Reuters) – A club that proves its fans are involved in racist incidents should be punished by deducting points and forcing it to fight at home without supporters, the Premier League striker said on Tuesday.
There have been racist incidents in the Premier League this season, the latest being Mohammed Salah, the West Ham United striker in Liverpool, where fans insulted the Egyptian international player last week.

Last December, Chelsea banned four fans from entering Stamford Bridge until the end of police investigations as part of alleged racist chants against Manchester City striker, Rahim Sterling.
"Someone who does not solve the problem can be punished," Antonio told Sky Sports.
"If the clubs start playing without supporters, with points deducted, they will take more seriously," he said. "If it affects the team and the fans, they will start to reform."
Antonio said that racism could be eradicated if the British and the European Union adopted a stricter approach.
"I hold the FA and the EU accountable because they do not adopt sufficiently tough measures, and if they continue to think about other solutions and do not strike directly, it will take years. "
