Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham was targeted for racial abuse on social media following their UEFA Super Cup final defeat on Wednesday.
Abraham missed the decisive penalty in the shootout in Istanbul, with Liverpool goalkeeper Adrian saving the spot-kick with his legs.
And Kick It Out have reported that the England youngster was racially abused on social media following the final whistle.
In a statement on Thursday morning, Kick It Out wrote: 'Last night we received reports of racist abuse directed at Tammy Abraham on social media after Chelsea's UEFA Super Cup match.
'Such abuse is now increasingly predictable, but no less disgusting.
'We send our support to Tammy and reiterate our call for Twitter and other social companies to clamp down on this level of abuse. This is a call to action - we want to know what they are going to do to tackle this insidious problem.'
In the aftermath of the defeat, one social media user said: 'F****** n*****', alongside a disgusting video of the Ku Klux Klan lynching.
Another Twitter user wrote: Tammy Abraham IS A F****** N*****', while another sickeningly said: 'you f****** black **** you ruined my night'.

Abraham for me, he's a classic player .. he is quick and he controls the ball very well.. but the goals aren't coming yet .. few tips that might help his career; 1. As a striker, when taking penalties try not to hit the ball straight at the goal keeper. 2. Don't do it alone, most times drawing energy from the crowd of fans out there at stadium could boost confidence... wave at the fans, they want to see you do that... Drogba was good at it... don't walk alone.

another black man calling his brother a black nigga. smh. The lack of love for each other is a very serious problem. Football is a game played by humans (except for messi who is alien). fans and supporters need to leave drama out of football....besides, win or lose they getting paid ridiculous money. Why Hate? Appreciate!
Kid when I reached the messi part I said this is just a kid messi is an alien ? And you mixed that with a serious topic ?

I think Giroud or Batshuayi should be started for our league and champions league game... Abraham isnot confident enough for these type of game, he should be given chance for the FA cup like games and observe his improvement... If he shows improvement in these type of game then only he should be started for the league games
Did you even watch the match yesterday and see how many chances giroud miss and to tell you that batshuayi is not a player.....Abraham is good just that he don't have strength and he still don't have that confidence

Tammy need more experience in both striking role and penalty. And at last hoping that Chelsea will win the English tittle.

If excellence in football is about race, then Sadio Mane(black) showed superiority in the same game. He scored all the goals before the penalty shootouts. Racism is evil; has no reasoning and must be condemned.

They are the most disappointing fans. Tammy won us the penalty which led us to the penalty shootouts . He is young and everyone makes mistakes. We need to be patient and give him enough time to build an excellent form.

Tammy's penalty should be replayed. The keeper's two feet are off the line before the penalty kick.
