London, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 15th Oct, 2019 ) :British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Tuesday condemned the "vile" racist chanting directed at England players during their Euro 2020 qualifier against Bulgaria in Sofia.

England recorded a 6-0 victory over their hosts in Sofia on Monday but the game was overshadowed by offensive chanting from the stands, forcing the match to be halted twice in the first half.
