Space cannot expand faster than the speed of light («the speed of expansion of space» is generally a confusing term, to determine «speed» you need to at least set the size/volume of space).
You probably meant the fact that there are objects (located behind the Hubble sphere) that are moving away from the observer (i.e. from us) at a speed greater than the speed of light.
Yes, such a fact takes place. But this is NOT «the expansion of space faster than the speed of light.»
