Villas-Boas fears more chanting

Andre Villas-Boas fears Lazio’s fine for monkey chanting will not stop their fans doing the same again tonight when they host Tottenham in the Europa League.

Lazio were last month fined £32,500 after UEFA found their fans guilty of chanting racist abuse towards Jermain Defoe, Andros Townsend and Aaron Lennon in September’s 0-0 draw at White Hart Lane.

UEFA have been criticised in the past for their lenient punishments for racism and although Villas-Boas praised the organisation for fining the Italian club, the Tottenham manager does not think that will prevent monkey-chanting occurring again at the Stadio Olimpico.
