The man reportedly racially abused Antoine Semenyo at Anfield.
A man who was arrested on the suspicion of racially abusing Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo during the opening match of the Premier League season between Liverpool and Bournemouth has been banned from every football stadium in the UK as part of his bail conditions.
Merseyside Police said a 47-year-old man from Liverpool, who was arrested on Saturday on suspicion of public order offence, has been conditionally bailed.
The conditions for the bail include a ban on attending any regulated football match in the UK and not going within one mile of a designated football stadium.
CBI News reports that the police said the investigation into the incident was ongoing and it was working closely with Liverpool Football Club.
Bournemouth’s game at Anfield was briefly stopped in the 29th minute after Semenyo informed the referee about the incident.
The Ghana international posted on social media that the night at Anfield would stay with him forever "because of how the entire football family stood together".
He thanked his teammates, Liverpool players and fans and the Premier League officials "who handled it professionally".
