LONDON: England manager Gareth Southgate said his side made a statement by deciding to complete a 6-0 Euro 2020 qualifying win over Bulgaria on Monday after the match was twice halted by racist chanting.

In a statement, The English Football Association said their players"were subjected to abhorrent racist chanting" and called on UEFA to investigate immediately. However, the focus was again on the stands as another England match blighted by racism from opposition fans. On the field, Southgate's decision to make five changes from the side beaten in Prague on Friday was fully vindicated.

That warning was not heeded as after Barkley headed home Kane's cross, there was a second, longer stoppage in play.When play did got back underway there were six minutes of stoppage time added and the visitors used it to increase their advantage when Kane crossed for Sterling to this time apply an easy finish.
