The Football Association has condemned racist abuse aimed at England players Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka after today's Euro 2020 final defeat by Italy.

All three players missed penalties in the 3-2 loss and were targeted on social media after the game.

The Football Association says it was "appalled" by the abuse.

England's players have taken the knee before games at the Euros to highlight the fight against racial inequality.
