England cricketer Jofra Archer has said that the arrest of a 12-year-old boy for sending racist messages to Crystal Palace forward Wilfried Zaha will hopefully deter the keyboard warriors. Before Sunday's game, Zaha had shared the screenshots of the messages of the Twitter handle and captioned it, "Woke up to this." The message apparently looked from an Aston Villa fan who threatened to visit Zaha "as a ghost" if he scores against the Birmingham-based premier league club.

West Midlands Police tweeted the 27-year-old Ivory Coast winger to say they would look into the abuse and hours later confirmed an arrest. "We were alerted to a series of racist messages sent to a footballer today and after looking into them and conducting checks, we have arrested a boy," read a WM Police tweet.
