The Met Police have released images of two men they wish to speak to following disorder at a match between Millwall FC and Crystal Palace FC.

The Bermondsey-based club hosted their South London rivals at The Den for FA Cup game last Saturday,

During the second half of the match, projectiles – including a glass bottle – were thrown from the home stand towards the playing area.

Inspector Matt Ashmead, from the Central Football Unit, said: “The vast majority of football fans go to matches simply to enjoy themselves and support their team.

“Sadly, a small minority are intent on causing trouble and resorting to violence. We are committed to identifying them and ensuring they face appropriate sanctions.

“We have a close relationship with clubs across London and in this case, we have worked with Millwall to identify those involved.

“I would appeal to the public to come forward with any information that could help us to identify the two men.”

Anyone with information should call police on 101, giving the reference 3200839/22. Information can also be provided to Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
