Leeds promise to assist FA inquiry

Leeds have agreed to co-operate fully with the Football Association’s formal investigation into the fracas which erupted at the end of Saturday’s game with Middlesbrough at the Riverside.

As the two teams left the pitch at the end of a 2-2 draw, Middlesbrough midfielder George Boateng was seen to spit at the feet of Jonathan Woodgate and Nick Barmby, with the Dutchman claiming it was provoked by a racial slur from the latter.
