Anti-race campaigners Kick It Out have received a report of discrimination against Albion defender Gaetan Bong in the match at Burnley.

The Argus revealed Albion are investigating claims by supporters that Bong was subjected to monkey chants as he took a throw-in.

A Kick It Out spokesman told The Argus: "I can confirm we have received a report of discrimination from the match. However, due to confidential reasons, I cannot provide any further information than that at this time."

Kick It Out have also released a statement after Albion boss Chris Hughton branded the booing of Bong by Burnley fans throughout the match as "shameful".

The case against West Brom's Burnley-born striker Jay Rodriguez, accused by Bong of making a racist remark towards him at the Hawthorns in January and charged by the FA, was found to be "not proven" by an independent commission.

The statement said: "Kick It Out is concerned at reports that Gaetan Bong was booed on Saturday for raising an alleged incident of racism with The Football Association.

"Kick It Out believes all allegations of discrimination must follow a fair and transparent process for all parties involved and the organisation accepts the ‘not proven’ ruling made by The FA, due to insufficient evidence.

"However, it is important to acknowledge that an allegation found 'not proven' does not mean that the complainant has lied or acted in bad faith.

"Kick It Out fully supports the decision by Gaetan Bong to report the alleged incident and encourages any player who believes they have been the target of discriminatory abuse to do the same."
