Marcus Rashford mural in Manchester vandalized amid racist abuse after Euro 2020 final

A mural honoring England men's national soccer team player Marcus Rashford was vandalized on Sunday night while he and two teammates were subjected to racist abuse on social media following England's loss in the Euro 2020 final.

Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka, all of whom are Black, missed penalty kicks for England and were immediately met with racist abuse that included monkey emojis, slurs and taunts to leave the country. England lost to Italy on penalty, 3-2, when the sides were knotted at 1 through extra time.
