Guardiola concerned racism in football will never be eradicated

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola fears racism will never be eradicated from football, though says clubs, players, managers and authorities must continue to fight the problem.

The latest in a long line of examples of racism in the game occurred on Sunday, when Antonio Rudiger alleged he was abused during Chelsea's 2-0 Premier League win at Tottenham.
