'He overcame it' - Abraham praises Rudiger's reaction to racist abuse following win over Spurs

Tammy Abraham has praised his team-mate Antonio Rudiger for getting on with his match after he was allegedly racially abused by a Tottenham supporter in Chelsea's 2-0 away win.

Rudiger was caught on the television cameras gesturing to suggest that he had heard monkey chants from a fan in the home end shortly after Son Hueng-min was sent off for a foul on the Blues defender in the second half.

The Germany international then spoke to Chelsea captain Azpilicueta who informed referee Anthony Taylor of the incident.
