Millwall boss Alex Neil dismissed any notion that Liam Roberts' horror karate kick on Jean-Phillippe Mateta was intentional, after Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish furiously accused the goalkeeper of endangering his player's life.
Only five minutes had been played in the heavily-policed FA Cup clash between the South London rivals when Roberts was red carded for crashing into Mateta.
While Palace's top scorer was being provided oxygen and transferred to a stretcher to be taken to hospital, Millwall fans sang: ‘Let him die, let him die.’
Palace went on to win 3-1 but, speaking at half-time, Parish let his outrage towards Roberts be known.
