Fulham are “utterly appalled” at racist and homophobic abuse received by Calvin Bassey after the penalty shoot-out FA Cup victory at Manchester United on Sunday.

The Cottagers vowed to take the “strongest form of action” against those who had sent abusive messages to the defender, which he shared on social media.
