MILLWALL have been charged with misconduct by the FA following homophobic chanting directed at Ben Chilwell during last month’s FA Cup fifth-round tie against Crystal Palace.

Eagles defender Chilwell, who is on loan from Chelsea, was targeted by away supporters in the first half of the Lions’ 3-1 loss at Selhurst Park on March 1.

During a feisty London derby, Alex Neil’s side were reduced to 10 men in the eighth minute when goalkeeper Liam Roberts was sent off for kicking Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta in the head.
