West Brom's Jayson Molumby alerted officials to alleged racism in Ireland's clash with Israel

The Football Association of Ireland is investigating an allegation of racism towards striker Adam Idah during Sunday’s controversial victory over Israel.

It has been reported that Albion’s Republic of Ireland international Jayson Molumby alerted match officials to listen to what was believed to be offensive chanting towards the striker.

Swansea striker Idah netted the second in a 3-0 Ireland win in Hungary, in a Nations League tie ordered to be played behind closed doors.

But there were a small pocket of supporters of both nations inside the stadium in Debrecen and the Baggies man asked the officials during the game to listen to alleged abuse.

Officials told Ireland staff at full-time they did not hear any racist chanting.

The FAI spoke to a UEFA delegate after the game and were told because no clear allegations were reported during the game, normal protocols had not been followed and subsequent UEFA investigation could not take place.

The FAI is conducting its own internal investigating from high-quality footage, including pitchside microphones, to determine whether or not any abuse took place.

It is thought around 300 Israel fans got inside the stadium, with a small number of Irish supporters present despite no tickets sold.

Ireland goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu did not play in the match after boycotting due to Israel’s ongoing conflict in Gaza.

Former Baggies academy graduate Dara O’Shea, the Ireland captain, refused to shake hands with Manor Solomon before kick-off and Ireland’s line-up bowed their head at Israel’s national anthem. Goalscorer Jack Moylan kissed his black armband and badge after netting.

Solomon, the former Tottenham, Leeds and Fulham winger who now plays for West Ham, said afterwards: "I'm waiting for the next game against them - it will be a completely different game entirely.

"They don't interest me. We have a country 10 times better than theirs - stronger, an amazing country with amazing people.

"We are proud to wear the team shirt and to be Israelis. We are proud of our state and of our soldiers.

"They can play all their tricks. We are Israelis and love the country. And that will always be the case.

"If I say what I think of them, I would likely be suspended for a few matches. Obviously they hate us. We don't like them."
