FC Roma Fined €10,000 Over Racial Abuse Targeted at Victor Osimhen

The Italian FA has launched an investigation into AS Roma fans’ racist chants directed at Napoli striker Victor Osimhen during their Serie A goalless draw on Sunday.

Both teams’ coaches were sent off during the match, with Jose Mourinho receiving a red card during the game and Luciano Spalletti receiving a yellow card after applauding the referee after the game.

According to accounts in Italy, fans sang racist chants at the Nigerian international, who was active throughout the match, hitting the bar twice and having a goal disallowed for offside in the 88th minute.
