Fifa has opened disciplinary proceedings after racist abuse was aimed at England players during Thursday's 4-0 win over Hungary in a World Cup qualifier in Budapest, APA reports citing BBC.

Raheem Sterling and Jude Bellingham were both targeted.

England players were also pelted with objects in the second half and a flare was thrown on the pitch by the home fans at Puskas Arena.

England condemned the abuse as "completely unacceptable".

Borussia Dortmund midfielder Bellingham, 18, tweeted on Friday: "Part of the game and always will be until proper punishments are put in place by those with the power. We can't let hate win, keep smiling."
