London, Oct.19 (ANI): Cardiff striker Michael Chopra was the target of alleged racial abuse at the end of a bad-tempered clash with a Crystal Palace player.

Former Sunderland player Chopra was spoiling for a fight at the Cardiff City Stadium after a racist slur was allegedly hurled his way.

Fellow Cardiff forward Jay Bothroyd said: "I spoke to Chops and he said one of their players said a racist comment to him at the end of the game.

"That's not acceptable. That's why he was so angry at the end. He wasn't happy," he added. (ANI)
