A mural to Marcus Rashford was vandalised less than an hour after England lost the Euro final to Italy.
Graffiti was scrawled across the artwork, which depicts the much-loved Manchester United striker. It is in an area of the city where Rashford had lived with his family.
The indecipherable lettering, daubed in blue paint on Sunday night, can barely be seen over the powerful black and white image.

It is not the first time the artwork has been targeted after it was daubed with white paint.
Rashford and his teammate Jadon Sancho were both brought on during the Euro final tonight and both missed their penalties in a tense shoot-out.
Fans on social media shared their support for Rashford and Sancho on social media.
But the Football Association says it is "appalled" after the pair and Bukayo Saka were subjected to racist abuse on social media following the Three Lions' Euro 2020 loss to Italy.
Boris Johnson also condemned the behaviour, saying: "This England team deserve to be lauded as heroes, not racially abused on social media. Those responsible for this appalling abuse should be ashamed of themselves."
The trio's social media pages were quickly flooded with racist comments, leading the FA to release a statement condemning the "disgusting behaviour".
A spokesperson said: "The FA strongly condemns all forms of discrimination and is appalled by the online racism that has been aimed at some of our England players on social media.
"We could not be clearer that anyone behind such disgusting behaviour is not welcome in following the team. We will do all we can to support the players affected while urging the toughest punishments possible for anyone responsible.
"We will continue to do everything we can to stamp discrimination out of the game, but we implore government to act quickly and bring in the appropriate legislation so this abuse has real life consequences.
"Social media companies need to step up and take accountability and action to ban abusers from their platforms, gather evidence that can lead to prosecution and support making their platforms free from this type of abhorrent abuse."
