Referee Anthony Taylor faced a crowd of angry Roma fans as he made his way through Budapest Airport following the Europa League final.
The footage showed Taylor, from Wythenshawe, and his family trying to evade a mob, who were shouting at him as he travelled home after refereeing Wednesday night’s match between Roma and Sevilla in the Hungarian capital. Roma's supporters appeared to throw drinks and chairs in the direction of the 44-year-old, who had to be protected by police as he made his way through to a safe area.
This follows on from boss Jose Mourinho labelling him a 'f****** disgrace' in the car park of the Puskas Arena after his team lost on penalties, the Mirror reports. After the footage emerged, refereeing body The Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) said it was appalled by 'unjustified and abhorrent' abuse directed at Taylor.
