Crystal Palace have warned they will not hesitate to take action against supporters found to have thrown objects at two Leicester players during Sunday’s 2-0 defeat, with those responsible potentially set for stadium bans.
The FA have launched an investigation after Foxes goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel and striker Jamie Vardy were targeted by a small section of home fans.
During the first half, some supporters in the Holmesdale Road stand began throwing objects, thought to be screwed up sheets of paper which had formed a mosaic before kick-off, at Schmeichel, while Vardy was also targeted as he celebrated scoring Leicester’s second goal.
Palace have started their own investigation and a club spokesperson said: “We are reviewing CCTV footage of the incidents and if anyone is identified throwing anything on to the pitch we will not hesitate to take action.”
