Burnley striker Andre Gray is facing possible discipline by the English Football Association for homophobic tweets he made four years ago — even though they were made before the FA instituted the rule that's being used to punish him.

Gray scored his first Premiere League goal in Burnley's 2-0 win over Liverpool on Saturday. After the goal, fans began to re-share some of Gray's old tweets in which he had made homophobic comments.*

Gray has since deleted the tweets but screenshots are still making the rounds.
