Middlesbrough Football Club have slammed Twitter after their striker Chuba Akpom was racially abused.
The disgraceful incident happened after Boro's Championship match with Bristol City on Saturday which ended 1-1.
Former Arsenal striker Akpom had equalised for Michael Carrick's side after Andreas Weimann had opened the scoring.
And following the game, Akpom was the victim of abhorrent racist abuse on social media.
Middlesbrough had tweeted a full time graphic of the game with a photo of Akpom celebrating his strike.
Their post had read: '@cakpom strikes to earn Boro a point in Michael Carrick's first home match in charge.
