The FA will speak to officials from both Swindon and Orient before deciding on whether to take any action.

An FA spokesman said: “We deplore scenes of this kind and would call for the authorities to take the appropriate actions if allegations of assault are proven.

“We will be speaking to both clubs involved to determine the facts surrounding the incident.”

Moses Odubajo scored twice to help the London side to the victory, which took them top of League One.
