Burnley defender Matthew Lowton needed treatment after being struck in the face by a bottle thrown from the crowd during their defeat at Leeds United.
Lowton was celebrating Maxwel Cornet's equaliser at Elland Road with his team-mates close to the touchline when he was hit by the missile.
Pictures showed the Coca-Cola bottle was at least half-full of liquid with Lowton reporting the incident to referee Kevin Friend before receiving medical attention from the Burnley physio.
