Millwall charged over homophobic chants aimed at Crystal Palace’s Chilwell
Crystal Palace's Ben Chilwell applauds the fans following the Premier League match at Selhurst Park, London, February 15, 2025

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.
