Chelsea winger Callum Hudson-Odoi says England players now feel empowered to walk off the pitch after the disgraceful scenes in Sofia on Monday.

England's 6-0 win over Bulgaria had to be stop twice as racist chants sounded across the stadium.

And Hudson-Odoi says the experience has only served to embolden the Three Lions.

"I say the same thing about it – it's disgusting to hear or see players getting discriminated against. It is not right.

"I say to myself, whenever that happens, you have got to stick together as a team – which is what the boys did in Bulgaria.

"I was really proud of them and in those situations, where they say they would walk off the pitch, it's right (to make a stand) because no player should be treated differently.

"We are all equal, it is an equal game, so we all have to stay strong. Stay the same, and the boys dealt with it well.

"If the manager says we stay on the pitch, we stay there, try to cope with it and we make the decision all as a team.

"If we think it is right, and we can focus and carry on playing, then we do that. If not, and the manager says something different, then we do what the manager says.

"It's all up to the manager and the captain, but it's also a team decision, so we have a say in what's happening."
