he FA and West Ham are investigating reports that missiles including a bottle were thrown at Crystal Palace striker Jordan Ayew after he celebrated in front of Hammers fans.

Ayew’s goal was ruled offside by match officials with three minutes but was overturned by VAR. After running the length of the pitch his celebration in front of blocks 113 and 114 in the west stand incensed the crowd at which point a number of objects were thrown towards him.

Both West Ham and the FA confirmed on Monday that they are looking into the incident.  Any individuals identified is likely to result in them a lifetime ban from the London Stadium. If a group of individuals are implicated, West Ham could face an FA charge for failing to control their supporters, at which point the matter would be referred to an independent regulatory commission.

West Ham are also investigating disorder among Palace’s travelling supporters after two smoke bombs were let off during the London derby on Saturday night.
