Football: Match footage appears to show 'monkey chants' directed at Koulibaly

Senegalese defender Kalidou Koulibaly was allegedly subjected to racist chanting during Napoli's 1-0 Serie A defeat at Inter Milan on Wednesday. The 27-year-old appeared to have monkey noises directed at him throughout the game. His frustration boiled over in the 80th minute and he received two yellow cards in quick succession, the second for sarcastically applauding the referee after being shown the first. Napoli head coach Carlo Ancellotti said his team tried to get the match suspended because of "racist'' chanting (also referred to as monkey noises) against Koulibaly, he also threatened to lead his team off the pitch the next time one of his players is subject to continued racist abuse. After the match Koulibaly posted on social media saying "I am proud of my skin colour. To be a French, Senegalese and Neapolitan man."
