West Ham fans made a parody video in which they allow a black man onto a train ahead of their match with Tottenham today.

Earlier this week footage emerged of a group of Chelsea supporters stopping a black man back from entering a carriage on the Paris Metro system. They were also heard chanting about being racist ahead of their Champions League tie with PSG.

The incident has led to a number of suspensions from Stamford Bridge being handed out to those thought to have been involved whilst an investigation is undertaken.

In light of the incident, a few cheeky West Ham supporters filmed a parody video en route to their game with Spurs at White Hart Lane showing how not to be racist when travelling on public transport.

A black man is seen walking along the platform and says to camera "This is how we do it at West Ham". He's then warmly welcomed into the carriage by supporters of the Hammers.

Watch the video below...

West Ham threw away a two goal lead in their match with Tottenham with Harry Kane scoring a late equaliser after winning a penalty in injury time.
