The Football Association is investigating an allegation that Blackburn Rovers striker Rudy Gestede was racially abused at Middlesbrough on Saturday.

The Football Association has opened an investigation into claims that Blackburn Rovers striker Rudy Gestede was racially abused by Middlesbrough fans on Saturday.

Gestede swiped home a controversial 95th-minute equaliser at the Riverside and was seemingly upset at the final whistle moments later because of something that came from a section of Boro fans.

He reportedly appeared to mimic a gesture to his teammates before leaving the field of play.

According to Sky Sports News, the incident was included in referee Mark Clattenburg's post-match report and both clubs have now been contacted by the FA over the matter.
