This abuse was brought to the attention of the stadium authorities by the referee during the match and a message was issued over the public address system.

It was also highlighted in the referee's and match delegate's reports. A complaint has also been submitted over the further racist abuse directed at England players by at least one member of the Serbian team in the tunnel after the match.

An FA spokesman said: "We take racism and other forms of discriminatory behaviour extremely seriously and have asked UEFA to investigate these incidents as a matter of urgency.

"We will of course co-operate fully with any investigation."
