Hungary promise two-year ban for disruptive fans but make no mention of alleged racist abuse of England players

The World Cup qualifying game was marred by the behaviour of the home supporters and the authorities have vowed to take action

The Hungarian football association (MLSZ) has promised to issue two-year suspensions to the supporters who disrupted the World Cup qualifying defeat against England on Thursday, but made no mention of the alleged racist abuse directed at some of the visiting players.

England's 4-0 win at Puskas Arena was overshadowed by the behaviour of sections of the home crowd.

The Hungary fans jeered as the England team kneeled before kick-off in a protest against racism, allegedly aimed racist chants towards Raheem Sterling and Jude Bellingham and launched missiles at players during the match.
