Leicester contacts FA over concerns with Millwall supporters' conduct

The Football Association is being asked to look into the incidents that marred Millwall's 1-0 victory over Leicester City in the fifth round of the FA Cup.

On Monday, a spokesman for Leicester revealed the Foxes contacted the FA to report concerns over the behaviour of Millwall's supporters at the New Den. The Metropolitan Police confirmed three people were arrested following a pitch invasion at the end of Saturday's tie, while projectiles were thrown between rival supporters, including plastic bottles.

Per Sky Sports News HQ, Leicester is expected to lodge an official complaint.

"We have personally congratulated Millwall on a merited victory and wish them every success in the sixth round," a spokesman said.

"However, following receipt of numerous complaints relating to the constant abuse, provocation, and intimidation of our players, staff, and supporters from our arrival at the stadium, throughout the match, and its immediate aftermath, we have registered our dissatisfaction with the FA. We are awaiting the FA's response. The club accepts the defeat, but we simply will not accept the safety of our supporters, players, and staff being compromised."

Leicester's concerns reportedly include:

• Leicester players were verbally abused when they arrived at the stadium
• Leicester players were spat at by Millwall supporters
• Objects were thrown at Leicester substitutes when they were warming up
• Pitch invasion at the end of the game endangered the welfare of Leicester players
• Objects were thrown at Leicester supporters and one of the Foxes' coaches was attacked while leaving the ground

Ben Chilwell, who played all 90 minutes for Leicester, was accused of being too scared to take a throw-in by Millwall's Steve Morison.

"The left-back started taking throw-ins and after a couple of bits of verbal he didn't want to," Morison said, according to the Leicester Mercury's Jon Paul. "I'm not being funny. He said his fingers hurt him - come on, we're playing a game of football. He didn't want to take a throw-in after that, he asked the centre-half to take the throw-ins first half."

Millwall, known for possessing intimidating supporters, will pop by Tottenham Hotspur in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup, looking to add Spurs to a list of Premier League casualties that includes AFC Bournemouth, Watford, and, of course, Leicester.
