Raheem Sterling: From family tragedy and newspaper controversies to leading England's hopes at Euro 2020"Then came the monkey chants and there have been four different reports of that. Raheem Sterling was also targeted after Harry Kane's goal."'It is not acceptable': Southgate on racismA spokesperson said:"It is extremely disappointing to hear reports of discriminatory actions towards some of our England players.
"We stand together as a team and we will continue fighting for what we believe in as a team and what we believe is right."Kick It Out chief executive Tony Burnett said the organisation was"appalled to see the actions of some Hungary fans". He added:"We stand proudly in support of the England players and staff, who once again acted with strength, grace and integrity in the face of racism that has no place in our game or our society.
"This is not the first incident like this in Hungary, so we urge FIFA to investigate this matter urgently. "Those responsible need to be held to account and steps need to be taken to ensure scenes like are not repeated."Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer said"strong action must be taken against Hungary to protect players and show racism has no place in football".It follows sanctions after racist and homophobic abuse marred Hungary's Euro 2020 fixtures, with the third match of a stadium ban suspended.
