'The pressure got to me... I wanted everyone to leave me alone, I was in tears': Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham reveals anguish of Super Cup penalty miss against Liverpool and admits the racist abuse he received was his lowest point in football

Chelsea star Tammy Abraham has described his penalty miss in last year's Super Cup and the racist abuse he received on Twitter afterwards as his lowest point in football.

The 22-year-old striker missed the decisive kick in a shoot-out with Liverpool in Istanbul back in August and was left distraught and in tears.

He was then bombarded by cruel messages on social media saying he wasn't good enough to play for Chelsea.
