Another incident in a series of reported racism from Chelsea supporters
Police have followed up on reports of anti-Semitic chants from Chelsea fans on a train after their fixture against Brighton over the weekend.
Three Chelsea supporters have been spoken to by police, just three days after supporters were heard singing similar chants during a match against Hungarian team Vidi in the Europa League.
This incident is another development in what has been a string of alleged events involving racist and anti-Semitic chants from Chelsea supporters.
The club had strongly criticised similar incidents. calling the chants in Hungary, "abhorrent," claiming that strong action will be taken against those who make discriminatory remarks.

Chelsea also suspended four people after a police investigation into racist abuse Raheem Sterling suffered during the Premier League match with Manchester City earlier this month.
Chelsea chairman Bruce Buck met with travelling Chelsea fans before the Brighton game, making it clear that no such behaviour would be tolerated.
Despite this, a British Transport Police statement confirmed that there were reports of offensive chanting.
The statement said: "Officers received reports of anti-Semitic chanting on board a train at around 4 pm yesterday afternoon.
"BTP attended and three men were spoken to by officers, but at this time no one has come forward to make a complaint."
Without a complaint made police will not be able to investigate, however, it has been reported that other supporters on the train attempted to stop the chants from continuing.
