Marco Motta was sent off for the tackle which resulted in the penalty.

Tom Ince put The Rams ahead at the iPro stadium just before the hour mark, but Odion Ighalo sent 2,500 Watford fans into raptures after a cool finished brought The Hornets level with 15 minutes to go.

Watford were backed by almost 2,500 of their supporters at Derby after the players paid for 18 coaches and the fans returned the favour as they provided vocal backing throughout the game.

Since the incident, football intelligence officers from Derbyshire and Hertfordshire constabularies have been working together to identify the men in the footage.

Five injured in Bordeaux stadium

A barrier at Bordeaux's new stadium gave way during the Ligue 1 clash between the 'Girodins' and Nantes on Sunday, injuring five people.

At the brand new complex, named the Nouveau Stade de Bordeaux and primed for Euro 2016, the incident took place in the 87th minute when Bordeaux fans were celebrating their team's second goal in a 2-0 victory.

"We counted five injuries, two of those to young boys of 12 and 14 who were picked up by their parents," said one of the club's security officials.

A similar incident took place on May 23 when the stadium was officially opened and led to another barrier collapsing when Bordeaux fans celebrated the first goal at the new venue. On that occasion there were no serious injuries.

Lokomotiv Plovdiv have been fined 37,500 levs ($21,224) after fans made racial and discriminatory slurs during a league match against leaders Litex Lovech on Saturday, the Bulgarian Football Union (BFU) said.

The BFU announced its ruling on Tuesday without giving further details.

Winless Lokomotiv, who are ninth in the 10-team Bulgarian league with two points from four matches, said they would appeal against the fine.

"We are extremely surprised by the heavy sanction," Konstantin Dumanov, a member of Lokomotiv's board, told local media.

"Neither the (match) referees nor the BFU's representatives mentioned any such incident. There's nothing in the media too... We will appeal."

Bulgarian soccer authorities have long been criticised by anti-racism campaigners, local media and fans for not cracking down hard enough on discrimination in sport.
