Following that incident, 26-year old Antonio Rudiger informed Chelsea captain Cesar Azpilicueta about the alleged racist chanting. Almost immediately, match referee Anthony Taylor spoke to both managers about the incident and there were three separate announcements that were made over the tannoy system. The Professional Footballers' Association (PFA) echoed Kick It Out's words and asked the British government to launch an inquiry into the rampant racism in English football.
