Report: England Targeted With Racist Comments, Boos in Match Against Hungary

While England defeated Hungary 4-0 in its World Cup qualifying match on Thursday, the Lions' victory was marred by racist displays by Hungary's fans.

During the match, which was held in Budapest, sporadic monkey chants were targeted at England's Black players. The team was also booed by fans for taking a knee before the game, according to SkySports.com.

The chants and cups thrown on the field were aimed at The Three Lions' Raheem Sterling when he moved the ball near the sideline as he prepared to set up Harry Kane for the club's second goal.
