CHERRIES frontman Dominic Solanke described as a “disgrace” the racial abuse suffered by England’s players in Bulgaria on Monday.

There were two breaks in play during the Euro 2020 qualifier in Sofia after racist chanting was reported to the match officials, with England eventually running out comfortable 6-0 winners.

Following UEFA's anti-racism protocols, an announcement was made in the 28th-minute warning fans that any further incidents could result in the match being abandoned, while there was another pause before half-time.

Solanke told Sky Sports: “As anyone everyone could see, it was a disgrace. I don’t think anywhere in the world would accept that sort of behaviour.

“The (England) players wanted to go and win the game. They won comfortably and did really well in doing that but as we say every time, we just want to see something change.

“Especially in football but in the world as well. We just need to find a way to stop it.”

Asked whether there could be more severe action taken, the Cherries frontman replied: “I’d hope so.

“I think everyone hopes so as well, especially when it’s an international game. You have the whole country watching and they can all see what’s going on.

“It’s a perfect opportunity for people to do something about it.”
