(Guardian-UK) Dominic Fifield - Britain's Chelsea soccer club has lodged a formal complaint with the Malaysian Football Association alleging that the club's Israeli midfielder Yossi Benayoun was the subject of anti-Semitic abuse during last week's friendly in Kuala Lumpur.

"Such behavior is offensive, totally unacceptable and has no place in football."
