UPDATE -  A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: ‘I can confirm we are investigating the incident. An inquiry is being conducted by the Football Unit at Fulham police station. No-one has been arrested.’

An FA spokesman added: ‘We are investigating. That’s all I can say until we have had a chance to look into it further.’

Not only were Chelsea booted from the Carling Cup after losing out to Championship side Burnley 5 – 4 in Pk’s, but Ivory Coast striker Didier Drogba might find himself in some incredibly hot water with the Football Association and maybe even the police.

After opening the scoring with an incredible first goal in six months after having come back from injury, Drogba ran to celebrate his goal when Burnley supporters started throwing objects at him.

Not only did Drogba give them the “bird”, but also threw what is believed to be a coin back into the crowd before walking back to the midfield stripe.

He said: ‘I tried to celebrate the goal and some things were thrown at me. The big mistake I made was to throw it back so if someone was hurt I want to apologise. It was an incident in the heat of the moment and I regret it.’
