Willian calls for 'proper sanctions' in wake of Taison racial abuse against Dynamo Kiev

The Selecao star has issued a cry for footballing federations to crack down on xenophobia following the latest major incident of the season

Brazil star Willian has called for "proper sanctions" to be imposed upon Dynamo Kiev after former Shakhtar Donetsk team-mate Taison was targeted with racial abuse by opposition supporters in Sunday's derby encounter.

The Selecao star was shown a straight red card for his actions during the encounter, in which his side emerged as 1-0 victors, following an incident in which he responded to xenophobic chants by brandishing his middle finger and booting the ball into the stand.
