"Immediately after Brentford's game against Arsenal, Ivan Toney received a barrage of abusive, racist direct messages via his Instagram account," the club said on Sunday.
Arsenal said they were working with Brentford to identify those involved.
"We stand with Ivan Toney," Arsenal said.
Referees' body PGMOL accepted on Sunday it was the wrong call and was one of two "significant errors" over weekend's games.
