Pochettino calls on fans to 'kill' racism in wake of recent incidents

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino wants to "kill" racism and believes it is the responsibility of everybody in the game to stamp it out.

The issue of racism was thrust into the spotlight last week after Raheem Sterling was allegedly subjected to racist abuse by a Chelsea fan during Manchester City's 2-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge.

Sterling then took to Instagram the next day to condemn the abuse and suggest media outlets are fueling racism with subjective coverage of football.
