THE FA are looking into claims that Hennibal Mejbri spat at fans during Burnley’s win over Leeds.
The Clarets claimed a big 2-0 win over the Yorkshire side at Turf Moor on Saturday.
However, the match was tainted after an alleged incident led to a claim that the former Manchester United ace spat at the away fans.
Mejbri, 22, was sent into the action as a 83rd-minute substitute and picked up a yellow card in injury time.
Lancashire Police have said they are “establishing the facts” surrounding the alleged incident.
A statement read: “[We are] aware of an alleged incident involving a Burnley player during the second half of the Premier League game between Burnley and Leeds United at Turf Moor on Saturday.

The complaint was lodged by a Leeds fan in the away end at Turf Moor.
The FA are reviewing the allegation but has not yet launched a full investigation.
Lesley Ugochukwu netted the opener for the hosts before substitute Loum Tchaouna made it two.
The three points have lifted the Lancashire side to 17th in the Premier League table – above the relegation zone.
Leeds however, have dropped to 16th, having not won since September 20 when they beat Wolves 3-1.
