The Football Association are to investigate an incident surrounding the sending-off of Southampton's Hassan Kachloul during the 1-0 win over Leeds at The Dell on Saturday.

The Moroccan international appeared to aim a head-butt at Leeds midfielder Lee Bowyer after the Saints player was given his marching orders by referee Paul Durkin.

Kachloul received his second yellow card following a clash which also saw Leeds' Alan Smith and Southampton's Mark Draper booked.

"The referee has asked the FA to take a look at a video towards the end of the game," said FA spokesman Adrian Bevington.

"We have called for a copy of the video and that will be processed to three members of the Video Advisory Panel for them to make their recommendations from that."
