England's Football Association announced on Friday that it will urge UEFA to investigate allegations of anti-Semitic chanting during Tottenham Hotspur's Europa League game at Italian club Lazio.

During Thursday's 0-0 draw in Rome, home fans revealed a banner bearing the message "Free Palestine" and sang "Juden Tottenham" ("Tottenham Jews" in German) at the visiting Spurs fans, whose club have a historical Jewish connection.

There was no immediate comment on the matter from UEFA after the game but the FA said they would be sending a report on the match to European football's governing body.

"We were saddened and alarmed to see reports of violent incidents prior to the game as well as anti-Semitic chants," said a spokesperson for English football's governing body.

"The FA had a crowd control advisor present at the fixture who will provide an urgent report, which we will pass on to UEFA as a matter of priority."

Before the game, a group of Spurs supporters came under attack in a bar in Rome in the early hours of Thursday morning.

Eleven people were injured, with one man stabbed in the head and leg but Lazio said their fans were not responsible for the attack.

Media reports in Italy on Friday said that two hardline "ultras" with connections to AS Roma had been arrested and charged with attempted murder, amid suggestions the attack may have been carried out by a far-right group with anti-Semitic leanings.

The Italian club were fined £32,500 ($51,800, 40,200 euros) by UEFA after their fans directed racist monkey chants at Tottenham players during the reverse fixture in September.

Spurs coach Andre Villas-Boas has called on the authorities to take swift action.

"It will take another investigation," he said.

"It happened last time and it was acted upon quickly by UEFA. We will have to wait and see if there is anything to act upon. If there is, UEFA have to act."
