Football Association set to investigate Millwall violence after fighting breaks out during FA Cup semi-final

The FA have confirmed that an inquiry has been launched into the prolonged outbreaks of fighting among the Millwall contingent of supporters towards the end of Saturday’s FA Cup semi-final at Wembley Stadium.


Millwall have already said that lifetime bans will be issued to any supporters identified as being involved in fighting both fellow fans and the police – actions described as ‘deplorable’ by the Football Association – during their FA Cup semi-final defeat against Wigan Athletic at Wembley.
Ugly scenes of punches being thrown and supporters left with bloodied faces were broadcast to a global audience and footage was shown of one fan concealing a police officer’s hat under his coat.
