Millwall fans were heard singing vile new chants about Jean-Philippe Mateta during their Championship victory over Watford. Crystal Palace striker Mateta suffered a serious head injury during the FA Cup clash against Millwall last weekend after being kicked in the head by goalkeeper Liam Roberts.

Crystal Palace forward Jean-Philippe Mateta has been pictured training for the first time since sustaining a head injury.

Millwall manager Alex Neil wants to move on from Liam Roberts' horror tackle on Jean-Philippe Mateta after Lions clubs were heard chanting more sickening songs about the Crystal Palace striker.

After being kicked in the head, some Millwall fans chanted "let him die" towards Mateta as he received medical treatment which included oxygen. He was later transported to hospital, where he required 25 stitches.

After a VAR check, referee Michael Oliver eventually sent Roberts off but play was put on hold for over 10 minutes while Mateta received treatment from Palace’s medical staff and the 27-year-old was given oxygen to help his breathing while being carried off the pitch on a stretcher.

Roberts, 30, was sent off in Millwall's FA Cup loss to Crystal Palace after an attempt at a clearance saw him kick Mateta's head.

Millwall fans mocked Jean-Philippe Mateta with a chant on Saturday, after the Crystal Palace star was hospitalised during their FA Cup game last week.

Millwall goalkeeper Liam Roberts has seen his ban for his horror challenge on Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta extended. Roberts was shown a straight red card during Saturday’s FA Cup clash between the south London rivals after kicking the Palace star in the head as he attempted to clear the ball eight minutes into the match.
