Plymouth have launched an investigation into allegations a Southend player was abused during the npower League Two clash between the two sides on Saturday.

A Pilgrims statement read: "We have received a number of complaints relating to crowd behaviour during Saturday's game. "

We are currently conducting a thorough investigation into these complaints."

A statement from supporters group Plymouth Argyle Fans' Trust read: "On Saturday an incident involving abuse coming from a supporter towards the Barn Park end of the Lyndhurst stand was reported to the police by a Trust member.

"Our message to any so-called fans who cannot put aside their own bigotry for 90 minutes is simple: you are not welcome at Home Park."
