There were suggestions of some issues early in the game but it was clear in the closing stages as monkey chants were aimed at Danny Rose following a late tackle which earned him a yellow card.Sterling has spoken out about racism in recent months and, speaking after the match, called for stronger punishment for such incidents.“It is a shame really because it was a massive team performance at a difficult ground, a difficult place to come,” he said.“We knew how difficult it would be, we knew it would be hard at times but we stuck together as a team and there were some great performances in there today but then a couple of idiots, mind my language, but a couple of idiots ruin a great night.“It is a shame we are talking about this to be honest with you, it is 2019 and I think there should be a real punishment for this, not just for the few people being banned.Danny Rose was also on the end of racial abuse3

“It needs to be a collective thing. This stadium holds 15,000 and I think the punishment should be that as a nation your fans are chanting racist abuse so I think it should be the whole stadium can’t watch it.“Then when that ban is lifted your fans will think twice not to do anything silly like that because they all love football, they all want to be there to support their nation.”Sterling later posted a message on Twitter which read: “Best way to silence the haters (and yeah I mean racists) #2019 #getsomeeducation”England manager Gareth Southgate was saddened and dismayed by the “unacceptable” racist abuse endured by his players and vowed to report it to UEFA.“I didn’t hear (anything) during the early part of the game, but I’m told there were things in the early part of the game as well.“But I certainly heard when Danny Rose was booked and it’s unacceptable. I’ve spoken to our players individually. We’ve got to support them. We will report it.“But I think that reporting is already in place because so many people in other areas of the ground have heard it. I believe the UEFA delegate also heard it.“So, our part will be to make sure that process is followed, but more importantly for me is that the players in the dressing room know that as a group of staff and as an organisation we’re there for them. That’s the most important thing.”Sterling scored England’s fifth goal after a Michael Keane header, a Ross Barkley brace and a strike from captain Harry Kane turned the game in favour of the visitors after Marko Vesovic’s effort put Montenegro ahead.Barkley, who was eligible to play for Nigeria as he has as a Nigerian grandfather, also spoke out about the situation.“I was off the pitch at the time when it looked like something had happened and a few of the players were looking a bit disappointed,” he said.Barkley scored twice in England’s win3

“But I have heard a couple of minutes again and it is not acceptable what has gone on and I’m sure it will get dealt with by the FA and UEFA. It is a day it should not be happening.“You would think racism has gone but I’m sure it will get dealt with. It is not acceptable.”Callum Hudson-Odoi was making his full England debut and impressed on the wing.The 18-year-old also had dual lineage and could have turned out for Ghana, with the Chelsea forward left disgusted by the evening’s events.“I don’t think discrimination should be anywhere,” he told beIN Sports. “I think we’re equal, we have to play a fair game and enjoy the moment. When you’re hearing stuff like that from the fans it’s not right, it’s unacceptable.“Hopefully UEFA deal with it properly because when I went over there, me and Rosey heard it, monkey stuff.“We just have to keep our heads, keep a strong mentality. hopefully Rosey is OK as well, we’ll have a chat and discuss what happened. He’s got a strong mentality, he’s a strong guy and hopefully UEFA deal with it. It’s not right at all. I was enjoying the game and to hear stuff like that is not right.”
