Applause rang out at Millwall's The Den on the eighth minute - the same point at which goalkeeper Liam Roberts was sent off for a challenge on Jean-Philippe Mateta - of their Championship clash with Bristol City on Tuesday night.

Crystal Palace striker Mateta was hospitalised after a challenge early on in Saturday's FA Cup clash with Millwall, which prompted sickening 'let him die' chants from visiting fans.

The in-form Palace striker required 25 stitches after the challenge, which saw him immediately receive on-field treatment and resulted in a lengthy delay to proceedings in the first half at Selhurst Park.
