An investigation has been launched by police after a video emerged appearing to show West Ham United fans chanting anti-Semitic songs at Tottenham Hotspur supporters.
The footage comes just days after an alleged racist incident involving Chelsea football fans on the Paris Metro.
The short film was taken on the Tube shortly before a London derby between West Ham and Tottenham, which traditionally has a large Jewish fanbase.
The clip was uploaded to Twitter by Spurs fan @RomanGeezer, who said: "On the train on the way to the game, West Ham fans break into song in Stamford Hill, a Jewish area, scum."
His profile and the video subsequently disappeared from the social media network for a short time but later reappeared.
Many took to Twitter to express their shock at the footage.
Doug McGregor tweeted: "What is wrong with these bigots. It's the 21st century."
And Ollie Davis posted: "Absolutely disgusting."
British Transport Police has confirmed it is investigating the latest report.
A spokesman said: "We are encouraged the public has the confidence to report incidents of inappropriate and offensive football-related behaviour to us.
"Officers ask anyone who has information or footage on this latest incident on the London Underground at Stamford Hill, or any others, to contact us so the matter can be fully investigated by detectives.
"We take these incidents very seriously, and it is clear what happened on the Paris Metro and at St Pancras the following night were not isolated events."
Anti-racism organisation Kick It Out said in a statement: "Kick It Out has received several reports via social media about the footage and will be liaising with British Transport Police on the matter.
"In addition, we have been informed of a number of anti-Semitic tweets which we are reporting to the police."
A spokesman for Tottenham said: "Anti-Semitism in any form is wholly unacceptable and we support all efforts to kick it out of the game.
"We hope that those individuals responsible for this vile behaviour are identified and dealt with in the strongest way possible."
Meanwhile, a former policeman who was sought by officers investigating racist abuse by Chelsea supporters in Paris has apologised.
Richard Barklie - who is a director of a human rights charity - admits being involved in an "incident" which resulted in commuter Souleymane Sylla being unable to board a train.
But Mr Barklie insists he did not participate in any racist chanting.
