Police launch race investigation

The Metropolitan Police have confirmed they have opened an investigation into alleged racist behaviour by a Chelsea supporter.

A photograph published in the national press appeared to show a fan making a 'monkey' gesture during the Blues' Capital One Cup fourth-round win over Manchester United at Stamford Bridge.

The move by police comes after the club confirmed they had launched their own investigation into the incident.
