“We are disgusted that members of our team, who have given their all this summer, have been subjected to discriminatory attacks online after tonight’s game,” the English Football Association said on its Twitter account.

“We stand behind our players,” it added. In a statement, the FA said it “condemns all forms of discrimination and is appalled by the racism being spread on social media against some of England’s players”.

“We say in the clearest possible terms that anyone behind such disgusting behaviour is not welcome among the supporters of this team,” it also said.

London police said they were “investigating” the “insulting and racist” online posts.

The matter is being taken seriously at the highest level of government, with Prime Minister Boris Johnson denouncing the actions. “This England team deserves to be treated as heroes, not as victims of racist abuse on social media. Those responsible for this appalling abuse should be ashamed,” he wrote on Twitter.
