Raheem Sterling and Jude Bellingham were subjected to vile monkey chants during the game while Sterling was also pelted with plastic cups after opening the scoring. England boss Gareth Southgate said: 'It's not acceptable. We have taken our stance, took the knee, right thing, I don't think the group of players that we've had could be doing anything more for that cause.' The Labour Party leader tweeted: 'Another dominant England performance and a great result. But once again, our England team are subjected to disgusting racist abuse. Completely unacceptable behaviour.' Pictured: England players remonstrating with the crowd and inset, Ferdinand and Starmer's reaction.

Talk about throwing paraffin onto the flames.
