England players suffer racist abuse during Euro 2020 Qualifier

Sofia: England football players were subjected to racial abuse during their Euro 2020 qualifying match against Bulgaria on Monday (local time). The game was temporarily stopped twice in the first half by match referee following abuse from the stands, Goal.com reported.
The match official was even seen discussing the matter with England skipper Hary Kane and an announcement was also made at the stadium. “Because of racist behaviour which is interfering with the game, the referee has indicated he may have to suspend the match. Please be in no doubt that the game may be suspended and abandoned if racist behaviour continues,” was announced.
Three Lions’ debutant Tyrone Mings had made the fourth official aware of abuse as he went on to say: “You hear that?” England were 2-0 up at the time, following goals from Marcus Rashford and Ross Barkley.
A large group of fans who were wearing black hoodies were pictured showing their middle fingers and performing Nazi salutes towards the pitch.
England coach Gareth Southgate made another complaint to the match officials shortly before half-time, with abuse towards his players continuing after the initial warning.
