Twitter remain "deeply committed to improving the health of the conversation" on the social media platform following criticism from Kick It Out after Chelsea forward Tammy Abraham was the victim of online racial abuse.

Abraham's penalty was saved by Liverpool goalkeeper Adrian to hand the Super Cup to the Reds on Wednesday night, and the 21-year-old was the subject of abusive posts on Twitter.

There have been a series of unsavoury incidents already this season and anti-discrimination campaigners Kick It Out were quick to condemn it, with a "call to action" for what was being done to "tackle this insidious problem".

A Chelsea spokesman described the posts as "abhorrent" with the club declaring themselves "disgusted" and promising the "strongest possible action" if any of their fans are proven to be involved.

In a statement issued to the PA news agency, Twitter highlighted the recent 'health update' post earlier this year, with significant progress made when it comes to hateful conduct on the service.

"We continue to take action on any account that violates the Twitter Rules," a Twitter spokesperson told PA.

There does appear to be a real togetherness being fostered by Lampard, whose belief in youth and understanding of the club's values makes Pulisic confident that a first win is close.

"It's been great working with him," the ex-Borussia Dortmund star said. "We've learned a lot so far and I think you can see the team forming.

"We have a lot of great players which makes it easier. We're on a good path."
