The BBC quoted a Leicester City spokesman as saying that while they had congratulated Millwall on their victory, the behaviour of their fans was unacceptable.

"Following receipt of numerous complaints relating to the constant abuse, provocation and intimidation of our players, staff and supporters ... we have registered our dissatisfaction with the FA," he said. "We are awaiting their response."

Millwall expressed disappointment that Leicester did not raise the issue on the day of the match.
