Arsenal youngster Bukayo Saka is at the centre of racial attacks following his failure to convert England's last penalty kick during their shootouts against Italy at Wembley Stadium.

The 19-year-old, along with Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho squandered the Three Lions' chances of winning their first-ever European title in 55 years.

They have waited for another silverware since they last lifted the FIFA World Cup title in 1966 and they came close this summer but they could only finish runners up behind the Azzurri.

Luke Shaw gave the English team the lead as early as the second minute but Leonardo Bonucci's equaliser restored parity for the Italians as the game stretched into extra minutes.

While Harry Kane and Harry Maguire converted their spot-kicks, the trio of Rashford, Sancho and Saka failed and they have now been subjected to all manners of ridicule by angry fans who aimed terrible messages at them.

Meanwhile, prime minister Borris Johnson has condemned those racially abusing the players despite their heroic acts all through the competition as reported by Daily Mail.

"This England team deserves to be lauded as heroes, not racially abused on social media. Those responsible for this appalling abuse should be ashamed of themselves," he said.

Gareth Southgate's men were unbeaten all through the tournament until they lost their most crucial game in the final and they will now have to wait a little longer to bring a trophy home.
