Paul Canoville has praised Chelsea for their response to racist behaviour from their fans before the 1-0 victory over Slavia Prague.

Chelsea quickly identified the men involved and denied three of them entry to the Eden Arena for the game.
And Canoville, Chelsea’s first ever black player, was delighted with their swift and effective action.
