Lambert told talkSPORT on Wednesday: ‘I’ve texted Mike Jones (EFL head of referees) this morning to say, ‘Have a look at the footage of the head thing.’
“To me, in my opinion, it looks as if the referee went in there and I said to him after the game, ‘Did you put your head in my player?”
‘He couldn’t answer it and that’s the reason I spoke to Mike. I haven’t seen that in a long, long while.’
The FA have told Sportsmail they are aware of the incident and an update will be provided soon.
Sportsmail have also contacted the EFL for comment.
