Brighton and Hove Albion’s 3-1 FA Cup replay win against West Brom on Wednesday was marred by abuse directed by supporters towards defender Gaetan Bong.
Bong was at the centre of allegations of racial abuse made against striker Jay Rodriguez when the sides met in January 2018, with the Brighton defender claiming he said to him "you're black and you stink".
An FA investigation into the incident delivered a "not proven" verdict on the Cameroonian’s claims against Rodriguez, with the England striker vehemently denying the allegations.
