Carlton Cole has caused controversy on Twitter after making ill-advised immigration jokes about the Ghana fans at Wembley.
The West Ham striker posted several comments during England's 1-1 draw in the friendly match on Tuesday night - all of which he has now removed after he was inundated with criticism and complaints from a large section of his followers.
Firstly, Cole wrote: 'Immigration has surrounded the wembley premises! I knew it was a trap! Hahahaha'
The England international, who wasn't involved in the game, then posted: 'The only way to get out safely is to wear an england jersey and paint your face w/ the St. George's'flag!'?
Realising that his comments were causing offence, Cole tweeted: 'To my ghanian brothers dont take it so seriously, its just jokes! Youve played well! Done africa proud!'

There were around 20,000 Ghana fans at Wembley for the match, which was considered to be one of the most successful friendly games in years.
