The UK prime minister and the Football Association have condemned racist abuse aimed at England's Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford and Bukayo Saka after the Euro 2020 final defeat by Italy.
All three players missed penalties in the 3-2 shootout loss and were targeted on social media after the game.
The Metropolitan Policeis investigating the abuse and said "it will not be tolerated".
Prime Minister Boris Johnson called the abuse "appalling".
"This England team deserve to be lauded as heroes, not racially abused on social media," he said.
"Those responsible for this appalling abuse should be ashamed of themselves."
