England and Bulgaria charged by UEFA following their European Qualifier

UEFA has opened disciplinary proceedings against Bulgaria following the racist chanting in Sofia on Monday – while England have also been hit with two charges.

England ran out 6-0 winners in the European Championship Qualifier but the game was marred by the torrent of racist abuse directed at their players with the game twice halted during the first half.

Now, the Bulgarian Football Union has been charged following home supporters' "racist behaviour", which includes chants and Nazi salutes, "throwing of objects", "disruption of national anthem" as well as "replays on giant screen" during the game.
