England players are subjected to racial abuse by Hungary fans in their World Cup qualifier in Budapest after fears the game could be abandoned following vile behaviour by supporters at Euro 2020

England players were targeted by racist abuse from the stands during their World Cup qualifier against Hungary in Budapest on Thursday night - after fears the game could be abandoned if it was marred by ugly scenes.

Both Raheem Sterling and Jude Bellingham were the subjects of monkey chants aimed from the home support behind home goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi's goal in the second half.

Sterling and his team-mates were also pelted with plastic cups after the Manchester City striker celebrated his opener in the second half at the Ferenc Puskas Stadium.
