Roma fans accused of making monkey noises at Chelsea players during 3-0 Champions League win
Uefa charged the Italian club over 'racist behaviour' following the Stamford Bridge game and a journalist claims the offences were repeated in Rome
ROMA fans have been accused of making monkey noises at Chelsea players during their 3-0 Champions League win.
Uefa charged the Italian club over 'racist behaviour' following the Stamford Bridge game.
And SkySports journalist Kaveh Solhekol claims the offences were repeated in Rome.
Following the 3-3 draw in London, a Uefa statement said: "Disciplinary proceedings have been opened following the Uefa Champions League group stage match between Chelsea FC and AS Roma (3-3), played on 18 October in England.
"Charges against AS Roma: Racist behaviour (monkey chants) - Art. 14 of the Disciplinary Regulations.
"This case will be dealt with by the Uefa Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body on 16 November."
The chants were directed at Blues defender Antonio Rudiger, who has already spoken about racism in Italy being a "serious issue".
The former Roma ace claimed: "Racism is a serious issue here.

“Incidents like the ones with Benatia and me simply happen too often in this country and that is why something must happen now.
"When the Italian FA is not doing anything then Fifa must act.
"It is easy to come up with the ‘No to racism’ campaign but when you don’t do anything concrete then that does not help.”
Chelsea were undone in Italy as two goals from Stephan El Shaarawy and a corker from Diego Perotti secured a comfortable win.
