Reading supporters have come out in support of striker Yakou Meite after he received racist comments on social media yesterday.
The forward was subject to the comment 'f****** monkey' after the final whistle in a game Reading won 3-0 against Cardiff.
Meite missed a late penalty in the game but the Royals fans fully backed their man of the wake of that incident:
Well said guys π΅βͺοΈ head up@@Yaks75

He is the nicest guy you could ever meet. He wears his heart on his sleeve and always give 100%. He will always have a place in my Reading starting 11.

@Yaks75 is a superbly talented, hard working and brilliant professional. The person who tweeted those comments is not fit to watch the game. Please find them and ban them from the Madejski.
