TV viewers saw an angry protest by Chelsea players after Clattenburg sent off defender Branislav Ivanovic and striker Fernando Torres.
An inquiry was launched into the racism claims by the FA after Chelsea lodged an official complaint. Clattenburg will not be officiating at a match this weekend.
The FA had hoped to bring the row to a swift end after the John Terry racism row dragged on. But the scene was set for another lengthy wrangle yesterday after the Metropolitan Police announced it was also launching an inquiry.
They decided to act after the Society of Black Lawyers made an official complaint.
