Barnsley have lodged a formal complaint to both the English Football League and the Football Association relating to an alleged incident involving Fleetwood manager Joey Barton.
Barton is said to have confronted Tykes boss Daniel Stendel in the tunnel following Saturday’s League One match, which ended in a 4-2 victory for the home side at Oakwell.
Footage appeared to show Barton being prevented from leaving Oakwell after the game, with police filmed blocking a car carrying the former midfielder.
South Yorkshire Police are investigating the incident.
“Barnsley Football Club can confirm that it has lodged a formal complaint to both the English Football League and the Football Association,” said a club statement. “This is following an alleged incident at the conclusion of the match on Saturday 13th April, between Joey Barton and Daniel Stendel.

Shortly after the match on Saturday, Barnsley striker Cauley Woodrow, who scored in his side’s victory, tweeted that Barton had ‘physically assaulted’ Stendel. He wrote that his manager was left with ‘blood pouring from his face’.
The tweet was then deleted.
The Fleetwood job is Barton’s first managerial position. The 36-year-old former midfielder took up the role at Highbury last summer.
