The booing of Albion defender Gaetan Bong by Burnley fans has been labelled as "unacceptable" by the Football Association.

The FA has also reiterated Bong's complaint of racism against West Brom's Burnley-born striker Jay Rodriguez was made in "absolute good faith".

The booing of Bong during Saturday's match at Turf Moor was described as "shameful" by Albion manager Chris Hughton.

The Argus revealed this morning that anti-racism organisation Kick It Out have received a report of discrimination against the Cameroon left-back.

Now the FA have condemned the behaviour of some Burnley fans towards Bong.

They said in a statement: "The FA considers the behaviour of some supporters on Saturday towards Gaetan Bong to be unacceptable.

"It needs repeating, following the recent disciplinary matter, that there was no suggestion by any party involved in that case that the player made a malicious or fabricated complaint. The FA was wholly satisfied that the complaint was made in absolute good faith."

The statement added: "The FA takes all allegations of discrimination extremely seriously and continues to encourage all participants who believe that they have been the subject of or witness to discriminatory abuse to report this through the appropriate channels."
