UEFA probe racist attack on LuaLua

UEFA have announced they are to investigate an official complaint from Newcastle that Inter Milan striker Christian Vieri made racist comments to Lomana LuaLua during last night’s Champions League match.

Alan Shearer scored twice as Bobby Robson’s men were held to a 2-2 draw at the San Siro but the match was marred by racist abuse from sections of the home support towards Newcastle defender Titus Bramble.
