Brighton and Hove Albion manager Chris Hughton believes the row between Gaetan Bong and West Bromwich Albion’s Jay Rodriguez is in the past as his team prepare for Saturday’s FA Cup fourth-round meeting between both teams.
During a Premier League fixture at the Hawthorns last year January, the duo were involved in a clash which saw the defender make a racism allegation against the striker.
Rodriguez was subsequently charged for using “abusive and/or insulting words which included a reference to ethnic origin and/or colour and/or race" against the Cameroonian.
