Leicester City file complaint to FA about Millwall following cup exit

Leicester City have filed an official complaint with the Football Association over the actions of Millwall fans in Saturday's FA Cup clash.

Mounted police were needed to keep fans separated at The Den after Millwall scored a late goal to win 1-0.

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

"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 in its immediate aftermath, we have registered our dissatisfaction with the FA. We are awaiting their response."

Millwall later hit back at Leicester's allegations.

"We have been made aware of these allegations today and are extremely disappointed that Leicester City, as is the professional protocol in such instances, did not raise them on the day of the game itself," a spokesperson said.

"This morning we received an email from Leicester thanking Millwall Football Club for the hospitality extended to them so are surprised that these serious allegations, which should have been discussed on the day, have come to our attention in the manner they have."
