Jordan Henderson: England Wanted to Make Bulgaria 'Suffer' After Racist Chants

England midfielder Jordan Henderson has said that the Three Lions wanted to make Bulgaria "suffer" after his team were subjected to racist chants by home supporters during Monday's UEFA Euro 2020 qualifier.

The visitors cruised to a 6-0 win at the Stadion Vasil Levski, but the contest was marred by racist abuse that saw it temporarily halted twice in the first half.

Henderson said England players discussed whether to continue the game at half-time and made the decision to return to the pitch and hurt the Bulgarian team on the pitch, per Dominic King at the Daily Mail.
