Cagliari to face no punishment for racist Lukaku chants

Serie A have ruled that Cagliari will not face punishment for their fans aiming racist chants at Inter forward Romelu Lukaku.

In their decision, the Italian league said that due to the amount of noise from the supporters' section, the chants could not be proven to be discriminatory.

As Lukaku stepped up to take a penalty in a match on September 1, Cagliari supporters directed monkey chants toward the striker.
