The Football Association is investigating after a VAR check cleared Wolves forward Daniel Podence of spitting during Saturday’s 1-1 draw at Nottingham Forest, the PA news agency understands.

Video footage viewed by VAR of Podence appearing to spit at Forest midfielder Brennan Johnson in the closing stages of an ill-tempered Premier League relegation battle proved inconclusive.
