During the clash on Sunday, Brobbey gave Tottenham captain Cristian Romero a shove from behind, sending the Argentine centre-back crashing into goalkeeper Antonín Kinský.
On top of this, just past the half hour mark Brobbey lifted his right arm and elbowed Pedro Porro in the face leading to a yellow card as the forward stayed on the pitch.
Sunderland hit back at abuse
In the aftermath, Sunderland have now released a statement to confirm they have taken action after so much abuse was sent to Brobbey once the final whistle blew from frustrated Tottenham fans.
"Sunderland AFC condemns in the strongest possible terms the racist abuse directed at Brian Brobbey on social media following Sunday's fixture against Tottenham Hotspur.
"We stand firmly with Brian and offer him our full and unwavering support. This is not an isolated incident.
"Recent abuse directed at Romaine Mundle and Lutsharel Geertruida highlights the ongoing and unacceptable frequency of this behaviour, both inside stadiums and online.
"The club has reported the incident to the Premier League, the relevant social media platforms, and the police, and we expect swift action to be taken against those responsible.
"Racism is abhorrent and has no place in or game or in society, and we will continue to call it out clearly and unapologetically every time it occurs.
"Football must be a safe and inclusive environment for all - without exception."
Northumbria Police have confirmed they are investigating alleged online racist abuse directed at Brobbey as a spokesperson responded to fan concerns.
“We can confirm we are looking into reports of discriminatory comments circulating on social media. We condemn all forms of discrimination – it has no place in society and our communities.”
The result leaves Spurs two points adrift of safety in the relegation zone after West Ham‘s 4-0 win over Wolves on Friday night as things go from bad to worse.
