Arsenal are investigating homophobic abuse from fans during their home league fixture against Brighton on Saturday when they lost 2-1.
The Gunners stated that two supporters were ejected from Emirates Stadium during the game.
Just last week, the Seagulls banned an Arsenal fan for homophobic abuse when the two teams locked horns at Brighton’s Amex Stadium in October.
“We will take the strongest action possible against perpetrators who can be identified,” read the club’s statement.
“We’d also like to remind supporters that homophobic abuse is a hate crime and punishable by the law.
“We stepped up stewarding operations in areas where abuse was reported.
“Arsenal should be a safe and welcoming environment for everyone. Any kind of discriminatory abuse is not welcome at our club.”
