However, The FA would like to take this opportunity to reaffirm its commitment to tackling racism in all its forms and to treating any reports of racist behaviour at football matches with the utmost importance.

Spokesman Adrian Bevington said: "We have a long-standing commitment to driving racism out of football. It has no place in our sport, and The FA has been working for several years with Kick Racism Out of Football, clubs and other organisations to stamp it out."
