A teenager in England was sentenced to six weeks in jail for racially abusing Manchester United star Marcus Rashford on Twitter.
The Crown Prosecution Service said Justin Lee Price posted a racist tweet on the social media platform in July after England lost to Italy on penalties in the final of the 2021 European Championship.
Price pleaded guilty to one count of sending a grossly offensive message by public communication network.
"Price targeted a footballer based on the colour of his skin and his action was clearly racist and a hate crime," CPS representative Mark Johnson said.
