'Keep the camera on them and shame them': Krasnodar players blasted on social media after only FOUR took the knee in support of Black Lives Matter ahead of Chelsea defeat

Krasnodar have been lambasted online after seven of their starting XI decided not to take the knee before their clash against Chelsea in the Champions League.

The Russian side could not cope with Frank Lampard's side on the night as goals from Callum Hudson-Odoi, Timo Werner, Hakim Ziyech and Christian Pulisic gave the Blues a comfortable win on the road.

But it was the display before kick-off which angered some on social media, as just four Krasnodar players took the knee in support of Black Lives Matter and against racial oppression and police brutality.
