England Under 21s subjected to racism and violence in Serbia

Racism and violence marred a record-breaking night for England"s under 21s. A number of England's black players, including Danny Rose, were subjected to racist chants as the visitors won 1-0 with a late Connor Wichham goal to secure a 2-0 aggregate win and a trip to Isreal next summer. It would be England's Under 21s fourth straight European Championship finals appearance, the first time any nation has achieved that.

Rose who was sent off after the final whistle for a second bookable offence, made gestures to Serbia fans after being racially abused and pelted with stones. England Under 21s coach Stuart Pearce branded Serbia's actions 'a disgrace'. Pictures below tells the story 




This is happening just some few days after the violence in the African Nations Cup qualifer between Ivory Coast and Senegal. These aren't the best days for football. Authorities have to do something to put a permanent stop to these kinds of actions by the fans. This is so wrong in so many ways. Even the officials were not left out. Wow.
