British Prime Minister -- Boris Johnson has reportedly blasted completely unacceptable racist abuse against England stars by Hungary fans in yesterday’s game.

The Three Lions stars were booed by the home team as they took the knee at the start of the World Cup qualifier played in Budapest.

Football's world governing body today announced that it has launched a probe into the shameful scenes.

Later on in the game, they were showered with flares and cups and reportedly targeted with monkey chants.

"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," PM said.

The Three Lions completely annihilated the Hungarian side by 4-0 courtesy of Raheem Sterling, Captain Harry Kane, Harry Maguire and Declan Rice.

The unacceptable racist abuse by the home side made Justice Secretary Robert Buckland to also add his voice to PM on the appalling abuse received by England aces.

"There are still too many communities and societies where this sort of appalling behaviour is not just tolerated but is normal.

"We saw that last night. It was deeply depressing, it was appalling.

"All of us have a responsibility to get the message out that these young men are working, they are exemplars to the community and inspire other young people.

"They represent what is good in our society. We should be celebrating these young people not denigrating them." Buckland said. 

More than 60,000 fans packed into the Puskas arena, in the Hungarian capital, for last night's game.

Eyewitnesses in the stadium said the first abuse was directed at Sterling after he opened the scoring for the Three Lions.

It was then later directed to 18-year-old Bellingham while he was warming up on the touchline.
