There must be a government investigation and urgent action against racism in football - PFA

Sunday's clash in London was marred by claims Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger was abused by fans, prompting the PFA to demand an enquiry

The Professional Footballers' Association (PFA) has called for the UK government to investigate racism in football and take "immediate and urgent action" to tackle the issue.

Sunday's clash between Tottenham and Chelsea was marred by claims that defender Antonio Rudiger was the subject of racist abuse from the home fans, which prompted three tannoy announcements warning the crowd to desist.

Tottenham promised to investigate the allegations, while manager Jose Mourinho was left disappointed by the latest incident of racism in English football.
