Spurs striker Emmanuel Adebayor was the victim of alleged racial abuse in Thursday's 4-1 loss to Inter in the Europa League.

And the American shot-stopper has claimed that the problem needs to be stopped at its root.

“The attitude of the racists in Italy is the result of infrastructure and education,” he told uefa.com.
