The FA accuses the Hungarian fans of racism, even though English national team captain Gareth Southgate said that he himself did not experience any racist expressions during the match.
According to British papers, two players of the English national team, Raheem Sterling, who scored the first goal, and Jude Bellingham, were racially attacked during the match, and other violations are also mentioned. The BBC writes that Sterling was thrown by the spectators when he celebrated his goal, and after the third goal, firecrackers were thrown from the stands onto the pitch. During his post-match interview, England captain Gareth Southgate was also allegedly thrown with ice, and he said that he himself did not experience any racist behavior during the match.
The English team captain, Harry Kane, also stated that he has spoken to his teammates and that they will complain about what happened at the Puskás Stadium, and that he considers the incident unacceptable. And Jack Grealish also wrote on Twitter about their brilliant victory in a match with an unacceptable atmosphere.
The BBC correspondent reported that he heard racist chants in the area behind the gate where the Hungarian ultras were sitting, and on one occasion he specifically heard Bellingham receiving a racist shout. The reporter later writes that he does not understand why, if the Hungarian players heard the behavior of the fans, they continued to walk on the field for several minutes celebrating the audience.
Sky writes: monkeys howling could be heard from the stands, especially when the ball reached Raheem Sterling. According to the reporter, this could also be heard during the pass before the second goal. He also writes that he saw at least four people harass Bellingham, who was warming up , with racist chants when he was near the ultras.
