Man who racially abused Brentford’s Ivan Toney gets English stadium ban

• First such ban issued under new legislation
• Antonio Neill given three-year ban for Instagram message

A man who racially abused Brentford's Ivan Toney on social media has become the first person to be banned from every English stadium under the police, crime, sentencing and courts act. Antonio Neill, 24, sent the message via Toney's Instagram account in October last year and the player shared it publicly, prompting a police investigation.

Neill pleaded guilty on 25 January to sending an offensive message. On Monday, he received a four-month sentence suspended for two years and a three-year ban from attending football matches in England.
