FA looking into Burnley star after claims he SPAT at Leeds fans during Premier League clash

The Football Association has joined the police in looking into claims Burnley midfielder Hannibal Mejbri spat at Leeds United fans during Saturday’s match at Turf Moor.

A fan in the away end made the allegation following the 2-0 victory for the home side in Lancashire.

Over the weekend, police confirmed that they were investigating the incident, and Daily Mail Sport understands that the FA has now launched its own review.

Mejbri, who came through the ranks at Manchester Unted, came on after 83 minutes and was booked in added time.
