FA denounces Burnley fans' booing of Bong

The governing body has described the actions of supporters at the weekend as "unacceptable"

The Football Association (FA) has condemned the behaviour of the Burnley fans who booed Brighton and Hove Albion's Gaetan Bong at Turf Moor on Saturday.

Sections of the home crowd jeered the Cameroon international at Turf Moor and sung songs of support for former Clarets player Jay Rodriguez, who was alleged by Bong to have made a racist remark during a match between Brighton and West Brom in January.

Rodriguez protested his innocence and an independent regulatory commission found the accusation could not be proven.
