May 5 (Reuters) - Manchester City's ⁠Antoine Semenyo was subjected to racist abuse during Monday's ⁠3-3 draw at Everton and teammate Marc Guehi ‌was targeted on social media afterwards, City said in a statement on Tuesday.

Everton said in a separate statement that Merseyside Police arrested a 71-year-old man ​on "suspicion of a racially aggravated public ⁠order offence" after fans and ⁠stewards reported racist abuse directed at an opposition player.

"He has ⁠since ‌been bailed with conditions, including restrictions preventing him from going within one mile of any designated sports ⁠stadium for a period of up to four ​hours before kick-off, ‌during matches and up to four hours after the ⁠final whistle," ​Everton said.

City welcomed the swift response from Everton and police in identifying an individual, while condemning separate abuse directed at Guehi on ⁠social media.

Guehi had endured a nightmare ​moment on the pitch, his weak pass back to goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma allowing Everton's Thierno Barry to pounce and level the ⁠game in the second half.

"We are also incredibly disappointed to hear that Marc Guehi was subject to a series of vile racist social media posts last night," City said.

"We will continue ​to offer our full support to ⁠both Antoine and Marc and never accept discrimination of any kind ​in our game."

The draw left City ‌five points adrift of leaders ​Arsenal although Pep Guardiola's side have a game in hand.
