Football fans unite to call for bans for Chelsea supporters who targeted Declan Rice with vile chants about his girlfriend - hours after she deleted her Instagram posts following abuse from body-shaming trolls

Football fans are uniting to call for Chelsea to ban a group of supporters who sang abusive chants about Arsenal and England star Declan Rice and his girlfriend.

Rice was targeted by Chelsea fans during Arsenal's 5-0 win over the Blues on Monday, after his long-term partner, Lauren Fryer, deleted all of her Instagram pictures having receiving a barrage of abuse online over her appearance.

Lauren, 25, who is the childhood sweetheart of Arsenal's Rice, also 25, wiped all posts from her Instagram page in recent days after finding herself the target of cruel online trolls.

The trolling made its way into the real world on Tuesday, however, with footage shared to X. formerly Twitter, showing Rice to be the target of vile chants from Chelsea fans.

Footage from the away end at the Emirates on Tuesday showed a group of supporters singing a chant that referred to Rice's 'bird'.

Rice appeared to be getting ready to take a corner in front of the away end of the club he played for as a youth between 2006 and 2013.
