Racial abuse of England players after Euro final complicates shootouts, says Gareth Southgate

The Hindu  

Online racist abuse directed towards Black players in the England team after last year's European Championship final has further complicated preparations for penalty shootouts, England manager Gareth Southgate said. Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka were the targets of the abuse after they missed spot-kicks in England's 3-2 shootout loss to Italy after the game ended 1-1 following extra time. We've definitely reviewed that," Southgate told reporters on Monday, ahead of England's UEFA Nations League match against Germany. Southgate, once the face of English failure for his own penalty miss against Germany in Euro 1996, added that he would not let the potential consequences of a miss sway him when picking penalty takers.
