The Prime Minister’s spokesman has urged Chelsea fans to remember why Roman Abramovich was sanctioned by the Government after supporters sang the Russian’s name during Thursday night’s match at Norwich.

Abramovich’s name was sung repeatedly by Blues fans at Carrow Road, hours after the Government imposed sanctions on him over his links to Russian president Vladimir Putin.
