HARRY KANE had anti-semitic abuse hurled at him by Hungarian thugs last night, according to reports.
The England captain spoke to Gabriel Clarke pitchside after the 4-0 victory over Hungary in Budapest.
Kane’s team-mates Raheem Sterling and Jude Bellingham had already reportedly had disgusting racist chants aimed at them during the match.
And according to ITV’s Mark Pougatch, anti-semitic slurs were aimed towards Tottenham star Kane.
Pougatch, 53, said: “Harry Kane, after he did his interview with Gabriel (Clarke), had anti-Semitic insults thrown at him.
“There was a flare as well.”
Kane, 28, firmly called on Uefa to take strong action.
He said: “We hope that Uefa are strong with their sanctions, that’s all we can ask.
“It’s unacceptable on any level and just disappointing.
“We are here to play football and to enjoy ourselves and put on a show for all these fans, home or away.
“So it’s a shame that there are a few who decide to act like that.”
Prime Minister Boris Johnson also called on Fifa to step up and take strong action against the ‘completely unacceptable’ behaviour.
‘COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE’
He said: “It is completely unacceptable that England players were racially abused in Hungary last night.
“I urge Fifa to take strong action against those responsible to ensure that this kind of disgraceful behaviour is eradicated from the game for good.”
Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate added: “We were aware of booing but weren’t aware of anything else but I need to speak to the players and if that’s the case it’s very disappointing.
But we also have to look at ourselves, we haven’t got our own house in order

“As a team we have dealt with a very difficult atmosphere in a football sense. It’s not acceptable. Everyone knows, I’ve said enough about racism over the last two years, you know where I stand on it.
“But we also have to look at ourselves, we haven’t got our own house in order. I don’t want to come here and make a big fuss about Hungary but if it’s happened action should be taken.
“At any level it’s not acceptable whether it’s one person or an entire stand. It was definitely an incredible atmosphere and in a football sense the players kept the crowd quiet.
“I have heard reports of racism and we were not aware of that during the game.”
