Man City striker Devante Cole at centre of alleged racist abuse

Atletico Madrid are facing UEFA action in the aftermath of their Youth League defeat to Manchester City.

The Daily Mail reports Devante Cole was allegedly racially abused by players and supporters during last week's UEFA Youth League match between Manchester City and Atletico Madrid in Spain.

Cole actually scored the goal that gave City a 1-0 win and booked them a place in the last eight of the new competition.

UEFA have subsequently been investigating incidents in which Cole is alleged to have been racially abused by an opponent and by members of the crowd.

The striker is the son of former Manchester United and City striker Andrew Cole.
