Lampard calls on social media companies to act after Zouma abuse

Frank Lampard has again taken aim at social media after Kurt Zouma was racially abused following Chelsea's 2-2 draw with Sheffield United on Saturday.

Zouma's late own goal sealed an away draw for the Blades, after Chelsea entered half-time up 2-0 at Stamford Bridge.

After the game the 24-year-old was subject to abuse online, and his manager was upset that companies like Facebook and Twitter aren't doing more to prevent the treatment his defender received.

“We have to look at social media and the platforms and give them some accountability, to actually have people registered who can be chased down for it,” Lampard said.
