Bukayo Saka was trolled with horrific racist abuse after missing a penalty for England (Getty Images)The boss of Instagram has admitted the social media company made a mistake when it failed to deal with racist abuse targeted at footballer Bukayo Saka. Unbelievably, Instagram failed to identify and remove the racist comments and emojis posted on their accounts. Adam Mosseri, the head of Instagram in the US, said the issue has now been fixed. In another move, the Government is changing the football banning order regime to cover online racism, according to the PM. Marcus Rashford has also been targeted with online abuse (Picture: EPA, file images)Speaking at Prime Minister’s Questions yesterday, Boris Johnson said he ‘utterly condemns and abhors’ the racist abuse received by the players.
