Ajax's Steven Berghuis has apologized after a video of him appearing to strike a racist fan in front of the team bus emerged on Sunday. The 31 year old is seen lashing out at the supporter after his side's 3-1 defeat to FC Twente.

"I regret my actions, I should not have done this," said Berghuis in a statement.

"I'm used to it by now but people think they can just shout anything.

"My reaction doesn't solve anything. I get that. It's not good, I have an exemplary role as a player of Ajax."

The fan in question had allegedly racially abused Ajax's Brian Brobbey, which prompted Berghuis to respond violently. Brobbey later took to social media to show support for Berghuis' action.
