Watford midfielder Nathaniel Chalobah has said racism is still happening at Premier League games and has called for the authorities to do more to tackle it.

Chalobah has said he still suffers from racist abuse at games after Raheem Sterling reported he was racially abused at Stamford Bridge on Saturday and Chelsea suspended four club members.

Following Watford's 2-2 draw with Everton last night, Chalobah opened up on his take on the Sterling incident and highlighted that black players are still being targeted by racism, “I have had it before. I would not say it is regular, like every game, but it does happen and it is happening. More has got to be done in terms of how things get dealt with."

“It is not right. We are just here to do our job, play football and put a show on for people who watch the games. It is not fair to leave the game being racially abused. Everyone can see that it is still in the game. Knowing Raheem personally, it is horrible, horrible he has had to go through that. It is just not right and needs to be kicked out. There are some very low people out there who want to say hurtful things and do not care who it upsets.”

Raheem Sterling's response has since been applauded and is changing the narrative in mainstream football media.
