Criticism of Montenegro fans comes easily but racial abuse is an issue in UK stadiums all too often.
Sterling reacts to racist chants after goal
But the fact the chanting was apparently so widespread within the stadium and effectively greeted with a shrug of the shoulders by Montenegro coach Ljubisa Tumbakovic shows there is a long way to travel in stamping out racism in Europe.It is a sad indictment of UEFA's efforts to tackle discrimination that Danny Rose faced similar racism while playing in an under-21 game for England in Serbia in 2012. Nine years later and it must have felt like deja vu to him.
If found guilty, the minimum possible punishment is a partial stadium ban, but the governing body will be under pressure to go much further than that.A disqualification from Euro 2020, as called for by the anti-discrimination body Kick It Out, would be the ultimate punishment.
