(Reuters) - England's Mason Mount labelled the hostile Hungarian crowd's behaviour in their World Cup qualifier a 'disgrace' but said they used it as fuel to score more goals and silence the home support in Thursday's 4-0 win in Budapest.

British broadcasters reported monkey chants being aimed at England's Black players while plastic cups rained down on the players when they celebrated goals near the corner flag. "As soon as we scored... you could tell within the atmosphere that something was going to be thrown or something would happen and luckily no one got hurt. We obviously have had it in the past and it's a disgrace how it keeps on happening.

World soccer governing body FIFA said it had opened disciplinary proceedings into the incidents at the match and reiterated an earlier statement reaffirming its zero tolerance stance against racism.
