As England football stars face onslaught of racism online – what’s being done to stop abusers?

Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka have all been the victims of a torrent of racist abuse online following England’s loss to Italy in the Euro 2020 final.

Abusive messages flooded the players’ social media accounts, with widespread condemnation including from England manager Gareth Southgate, the Prime Minister, and the Duke of Cambridge.

The sheer scale of the abuse, and the high profiles of those on the receiving end, has reignited questions around what is being done to stop it.
