Wolves said they reminded supporters over the PA system during the game that “discriminatory behaviour and chants” are not tolerated.

“Homophobia, like all other forms of discrimination, has no place in football or society,” a statement read.

“Anyone engaging in discriminatory behaviour is committing a criminal offence.”

The club said it would offer its full support to the police as they carry out their investigation.

In a statement, Chelsea branded “all forms of discriminatory behaviour totally unacceptable”, adding that they will work to “eradicate these vile chants from our game”.

The Premier League said there is “no place in football or society” for homophobic chants and discrimination.
