England Crush Bulgaria 6-0 Amid Racist Abuse from Fans in Euro 2020 Qualifier

England returned to winning ways in UEFA 2020 European Championship qualifying on Monday with a 6-0 victory over Bulgaria at the Stadion Vasil Levski in Sofia.

The Three Lions took control of the match with early goals from Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford and Chelsea's Ross Barkley.

The match was temporarily halted midway through the first half with fans warned to stop racist abuse, and England added a third goal from a Barkley header when play resumed.

Another break in play followed shortly before half-time, with play only resuming following discussions between the referee and England manager Gareth Southgate and his players.
