Crystal Palace are liaising with the police over footage taken at Wednesday's match against Manchester United in which a supporter appeared to make a gesture about the Munich air disaster.
A video has emerged of one individual at Selhurst Park appearing to mock the incident from 1958, in which 23 people died, including eight members of United's squad.
"We have been made aware of an incident captured on video involving a supporter at Selhurst Park during our last home game against Manchester United," Palace wrote in a statement on their official website.
"The incident has been reported to the police and the club will be working with them to identify the individual responsible. We take a zero-tolerance approach to this sort of behaviour. As and when the individual is identified, we will take the appropriate course of action."
