The Premier League have condemned Roma fans for confronting English referee Anthony Taylor and his family at Budapest Airport after the Italian side's defeat by Sevilla in the Europa League final.
Footage showed Taylor and his family being ushered out of a café and into a secure area by airport security after supporters hounded him following an ill-tempered final on Wednesday evening.
The English referees body PGMOL said in a statement it was "aware of videos circulating on social media showing Anthony Taylor and his family being harassed and abused at Budapest Airport".
"We are appalled at the unjustified and abhorrent abuse directed at Anthony and his family as he tries to make his way home from refereeing the UEFA Europa League final," it said. "We will continue to provide our full support to Anthony and his family."
