Uefa is waiting for reports from the match officials of Liverpool's Europa League qualifier against FK Rabotnicki amid claims of racist chants.

The Premier League side won the match 2-0 in Macedonia on Thursday night thanks to two goals from David Ngog.

But pictures emerged after the game that showed Rabotnicki fans appearing to direct so-called 'monkey taunts' at Liverpool players, including Ngog and 19-year-old winger David Amoo.

Uefa will therefore make a decision about possible disciplinary action against Rabotnicki after consulting the match reports.

A Uefa spokesperson said: "We are aware of the matter, but we are waiting for the reports from the delegate and the referee."

Macedonian football has had problems with racism before and their governing body was fined after England players Emile Heskey, Ashley Cole and Sol Campbell were subjected to abuse during an international in 2003.
