Sky Sports apologise after Souness' Lamela rant

Sky Sports were forced to apologise after Graeme Souness used a racial stereotype to criticise Tottenham attacker Erik Lamela.

Against Manchester United on Sunday, the Argentine was involved in a scrap with Anthony Martial and went down dramatically after the Frenchman touched his face.

Martial was ultimately sent off for the incident with Spurs going on to win the match at Old Trafford 6-1.

Souness was left livid by the Lamela's theatrics and ended up making a racist stereotype during a long-winded rant.

"If Martial is going then Lamela has to go," he said on Sky Sports.
