Tottenham Hotspur have been hit with a suspended ban on selling tickets to a European away match after fans were found to have made Nazi salutes during their Champions League clash with Eintracht Frankfurt.
UEFA has slapped the Premier League side with a €30,000 (£26,200) fine and issued the ban for ‘the racist and/or discriminatory behaviour of its supporters’.
The ban on selling tickets is suspended for a year. Spurs were also fined €2,250 (£1,966) euros for the throwing of objects. Tottenham won the tie 2-0 to secure a place in the last-16.
Daily Mail Sport understands Spurs have identified the three fans involved and have subsequently issued bans.
The club has been contacted for comment.
