Jordan Henderson slammed Bulgaria coach Krasimir Balakov after he refused to outright condemn racist behaviour directed towards England in Sofia on Monday night.

Play was stopped twice during the match - an eventual 6-0 win for England - because of racist chants from the home fans, but Balakov said after the match that those allegations must be 'proven'.

"I had a few words with the manager. It wasn't acceptable – something needs to be done," the Liverpool captain told Sky Sports News.

"He needs to apologise now, really, on behalf of the team and the fans. He knows what was going on. He was asking me what the problem was.

"When I told him he knew what was going on, it was baffling how he didn't, really. Hopefully he looks back and apologises because anyone watching that game would be disgusted really."
