Thiago Silva has demanded football change its attitude towards racism after a banana was thrown at Richarlison in Brazil's 5-1 friendly win over Tunisia.

In what was a resounding display from Tite's side, the night at the Parc des Princes was soon overshadowed by the objects thrown at Tottenham striker Richarlison as he celebrated.

He was celebrating having put Brazil 2-1 in front when several objects were launched onto the pitch, one of which was clearly a banana.

Footage showed Manchester United midfielder Fred kicking the banana away while other objects were also thrown onto the pitch.
