Since last night’s match I’ve spoken to my team mates and seen some of the footage. Any discrimination is totally unacceptable and the authorities must look into it. Racism has no place in our game or society. pic.twitter.com/tbmDFuUpsf

Prime Minister Boris Johnson called for Hungary’s fans to be punished for racist abuse.
It is completely unacceptable that @England players were racially abused in Hungary last night.
I urge @FIFAcom to take strong action against those responsible to ensure that this kind of disgraceful behaviour is eradicated from the game for good.
