Inter's Romelu Lukaku Faces Racial Abuse After Scoring Game-Winner vs. Cagliari

Inter Milan striker Romelu Lukaku suffered racist abuse during Sunday's Serie A fixture at Cagliari, where he scored the winner in a 2-1 result for Antonio Conte's side.

Lukaku converted a spot-kick in the 72nd minute in what would prove the match-winning goal. Broadcaster Matteo Bonetti described the racist abuse occurred before and during the build to his decisive strike:

Astonishing behavior from group of Cagliari fans!!!!! Once again racist monkey chants as Lukaku goes to take a penalty. That’s one season removed from Moise Kean incident. Something HAS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS

Sportswriter Andrew Cesare noted this is far from the first such racist incident that's occurred in Serie A in recent times:
