Romelu Lukaku has said football is "going backwards" on tackling racist abuse after he was subjected to monkey chants while playing for Inter Milan against Cagliari on Sunday at the Sardegna Arena.
Lukaku took to Instagram after the match, in which he scored the winner from the penalty spot, to address the situation. He wrote:
"Many players in the last month have suffered from racial abuse. … I did yesterday [too]. Football is a game to be enjoyed by everyone and we shouldn't accept any form of discrimination that will put our game in shame.
