Kurt Zouma has become the latest footballer to suffer racist abuse on Twitter after comments were directed at the Chelsea defender following his own goal in the 2-2 draw with Sheffield United.
The 24-year-old, who was on loan at Everton last season, was subjected to the abuse after a Callum Robinson cross deflected into the Chelsea net off the French centre-back to hand the Blades an 89th-minute equaliser at Stamford Bridge.
It comes less than three weeks after Blues striker Tammy Abraham, who scored a first-half double against the Blades, was targeted after missing a penalty In Chelsea's UEFA Super Cup defeat to Liverpool.
A number of Premier League and EFL players have had racist comments directed at them online since the 2019/20 campaign began, including Manchester United's Paul Pogba and Marcus Rashford and Derby County's Duane Holmes.

Kurt Zouma is not all to be blame here on defense, #28 Azpilicueta is playing just as poorly for a veteran back , I would suggest both players need to be on the bench the fact they’re both lethargic in the defensive back position. Today game how ever was lost by the manger Frank Lampard making the the middle sub with eight minutes left in regulation putting Bill Gilmour and Mitcy Batshunyi . Frank Lampard making this moving trying to be smart but not being clever on this move cost ChelseaFc the game today . Regardless of how poorly ChelseaFc play on defense. Today game lost on Frank Lampard. #ChelseaFc #Blues 💙💙💙💙
