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.”
