Stoke City goalkeeper Jack Butland apparently had a small object thrown at him during the home victory over Aston Villa on Saturday, while Queens Park Rangers said a coin was thrown from among visiting Birmingham City supporters towards home players celebrating their second goal in a 2-0 victory.

"The club will continue to review video footage and liaise with the Metropolitan and West Midlands police," a QPR statement said.

The FA is already investigating an incident the previous Saturday in which West Bromwich Albion's Chris Brunt said he had been struck by a coin thrown by one of the team's own fans after an FA Cup defeat away to Reading.
