Chaotic racism scenes as England thrash Bulgaria 6-0
England's qualifying victory over Bulgaria in Sofia was overshadowed by shameful scenes of racism.

Ross Barkley and Raheem Sterling scored a brace each.
Whereas, Harry Kane and Marcus Rashford scored one goal each.

France held by Turkey in Group H
Olivier Giroud once again scored for France in their Euro 2020 Qualifiers.
However, that wasn't enough as Turkey equalized within five minutes.
Turkey remain above France at the top of Group H.
