English referee Anthony Taylor was abused by a crowd of Roma football supporters on Thursday following the Europa League final between the Italian capital side and Sevilla.

Taylor and his family were at Budapest airport making their way home when they were confronted by fans angry with the official's performance in a game they lost to the Spaniards on Wednesday night.


It was a heated game, with the whistler branded a "f****** disgrace" by Roma boss Jose Mourinho after the match, with footage circulating on social media of the Portuguese waiting for Taylor in the car park after the final whistle.

And the heat continued today, with Manchester-born Taylor abused by supporters at the airport in Budapest, with police and security having to help them through to a safe area as chants became more vociferous. At one point a chair can be seen to be thrown.

Doesn't matter whether he's one of our better refs or not.Just goes to show the football authorities need to keep a lid on the shaming behaviour of some so called fans.We all loved to give the verbals to a ref but we'd have no game without them.

PREMIER LEAGUE:

We are shocked and appalled by the unacceptable abuse directed at Anthony Taylor and his family as they travelled back from the UEFA Europa League Final.

No one should have to suffer the inexcusable behaviour they had to endure yesterday.

Anthony is one of our most experienced and accomplished match officials and we fully support him and his family.

I don’t care how good or bad referees or linesman are they should not have to go through this sort of abuse Mourinho out of order after having a go at Taylor in the car park after the game his family where with him as well when Roma fans had a go at them in the airport shocking
