Cleveland Police have confirmed that they are investigating a complaint made by a Middlesbrough supporter which claims that he was spat at by a Bolton Wanderers footballer, believed to be El-Hadji Diouf.

The 11-year boy involved claims that the Senegalese international spat a drink at him during the Premiership game between Boro and Bolton just over a week ago.

It is the second time that the African has been under scrutiny for such behaviour. Two seasons ago the striker was fined £5,000 for spitting at Celtic supporters whilst warming up as a substitute during Liverpool's European game against the Scottish giants.
