UEFA give Anthony Taylor verdict amid backlash following Europa League final

UEFA are not unhappy with Anthony Taylor for his performance in the Europa League final - after receiving backlash from the Roma supporters following the full-time whistle.

Taylor, 44, was labelled a "f****** disgrace" by Roma boss Jose Mourinho in the car park of the Puskas Arena, having lost on penalties to Spanish side Sevilla. Mourinho felt aggrieved after being denied a penalty in the second half with the scores at 1-1 - before his side eventually lost on penalties.

A day later, Taylor continued to face abuse when a group of Roma fans, likely egged on by Mourinho's outburst, spotted him at the airport in Budapest, Hungary. Their supporters blasted the Premier League referee, who had to be protected by police as he made his way through to a safe area.
