England defender Danny Rose was subjected to monkey chants and Raheem Sterling, scorer of England’s final goal in the 5-1 win, was also targeted, with racist abuse heard throughout the game.
MANCHESTER - European football’s governing body Uefa has been urged to take strong action over racist incidents in Monday’s Euro 2020 qualifier between Montenegro and England in Podgorica and will receive a report from an independent monitoring group.
“If the proceedings prove that there was racist behaviour in the stadium, The Montenegrin Football Association will take all the necessary measures to identify the irresponsible individuals who might have caused such incidents and will ban them from all future matches organised by FSCG,” the body said in a statement.“We haven’t had any incidents involving religious, gender or racial discrimination at international matches before and we are certain that they will not happen in the future.
Independent monitoring group FARE had an observer at the game and said they will also submit a report.
