Conor Gallagher was the subject of homophobic abuse from Leeds United supporters which has since been condemned by the club.

Certain supporters chanted 'Chelsea rent boy' at the player because of his ties to the club where he is currently out on loan from.

Gallagher was the target of chants by some Leeds fans

Leeds released a statement in response and said the chant was 'unacceptable'.

"Overall the support from Leeds United supporters at last night's game with Crystal Palace was magnificent," the Leeds statement said.

"Once again the fans got behind the team and played a huge part in pushing the players on to get the late winner.

"However, we are aware of a homophobic chant directed at a Crystal Palace player and we want to be very clear that this is unacceptable.

Despite being on the losing side, Gallagher has a tremendous season so far for the Eagles

"We will continue to work closely with Marching Out Together and all of our supporter groups to ensure that we do everything within our power to eradicate homophobia and any other form of discrimination from our football club."

After the match, club captain Liam Cooper posted a tweet celebrating the win but also showed his support for the LGBTQ+ by writing 'football is for everyone' followed by a rainbow emoji.
