FORMER Newcastle United defender Davide Santon and his partner Chloe Sanderson received death threats after Inter Milan’s 3-2 home defeat to Juventus.
The situation left Chloe telling her Instagram followers that "for the first time in my life I am scared in my own home alone with my baby".
Santon, 27, came off the bench for the last few minutes of Inter's 3-2 home defeat to Juventus on Saturday.
A fiery affair saw Inter's Matias Vecino shown a straight red card for a studs-up challenge.
Then with Inter 2-1 ahead against the potential Serie A champions, Milan Skriniar scored an 87th minute own goal before Gonzalo Higuain pounced in the 89th to give Juve the win.
Home fans blamed Santon for both goals.
He and Chloe saw their social media accounts bombarded by aggressive messages from Inter fans.
They apparently included death threats and wishes for them to get cancer.
