Alex Scott: More should be done to punish racist fans

Former England footballer Alex Scott says racism needs to be 'stamped-out' of football with 'stronger punishment' for offenders.

Scott was speaking after the alleged racist abuse suffered by Manchester City forward Raheem Sterling at Chelsea on Saturday. Sterling was verbally abused during City's 2-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge.

Police and Chelsea FC say they are investigating the alleged racism by Chelsea fans and the Premier League says anyone found to have been racially abusive deserves to be punished.

The Football Association says it will support the investigations.
