Lampard calls on Twitter to better police racist abuse after Abraham targeted

The Blues boss has issued a harsh rebuttal towards the messages his players get online and wants to see more done to protect them

Frank Lampard has backed Kick It Out, the anti-discrimination football charity, in calls for Twitter to do more to protect footballers after Tammy Abraham was racially abused on their platform this week.

The abuse came after Abraham missed the decisive penalty in a 5-4 shootout loss in the Super Cup final against Liverpool on Wednesday. The defeat came after the two sides played out a 2-2 draw over 120 minutes in Istanbul.
