Two men were arrested due to alleged racially-aggravated public order offences at the Chelsea v West Ham match, police have announced.
The two men have been bailed to return to later this month and the Metropolitan Police is also investigating incidents of coin-throwing at the game at Stamford Bridge.
Coins and other objects were thrown in the direction of Chelsea's players as they celebrated Frank Lampard's goal in the 2-0 victory over the Hammers.
The Football Association said it will liaise with the police and the two clubs involved.
