FA report ‘incidents of racism’ to Uefa

The Football Association have reported “a number of incidents of racism” to Uefa after ugly scenes marred England U21s’ 1-0 win away against Serbia last night.

Defender Danny Rose was sent off after the final whistle after apparently responding angrily to monkey taunts from the crowd at the end of the Euro 2013 play-off in Krusevac which saw the visitors qualify for next year’s tournament in Israel.

Scuffles also broke out when supporters invaded the field moments after Connor Wickham struck in injury-time to complete a 2-0 aggregate victory and book England’s place at next summer’s tournament.
