Rio Ferdinand has hit out at the lack of outrage after a banana was thrown at Tottenham striker Richarlison during Brazil's 5-1 win in Paris on Tuesday night.
The Spurs striker bagged Brazil's second goal against Tunisia, however, his celebrations were marred when several objects were thrown onto the pitch, including a banana.
The unsavoury scenes were condemned by Richarlison, the Brazilian football confederation and Tottenham after the match, but the overall reaction to the incident has left Ferdinand "disheartened". And the former Manchester United and England star has called on football's governing bodies to stop "sweeping racism under the carpet" and adopt tougher sanctions.
