'They were stronger than racism' - FA chief Clarke proud of how England squad handled Bulgaria incident

The Three Lions were "visibly upset" by chanting on Monday, but still stayed together in a 6-0 Euro 2020 qualifying win

Greg Clarke said that several of England's players and staff were "visibly upset" by racist chanting in the Three Lions' win over Bulgaria, but the FA Chairman says that he is proud of how the team responded by proving they were "stronger than racism".

England's UEFA 2020 qualifier against Bulgaria was stopped twice due to racist chanting after the team had previously stated they were concerned about potential incidents in the lead-up to the match.
