The English Football Association Launches Investigation Due to Millwall Fans' Chants

The English Football Association has launched an investigation due to homophobic chants directed at Ben Chilwell by Millwall fans. Crystal Palace triumphed over Millwall with a 3-1 victory in the fifth round of the FA Cup, but the match was marred by offensive shouts from the visiting fans.

Details: During the encounter at Selhurst Park, the visiting fans hurled homophobic insults at Eagles defender Ben Chilwell, who is on loan from Chelsea. The 28-year-old footballer was particularly targeted with the term "rent boy."

Additionally, after Crystal Palace forward Jean-Philippe Mateta was injured following a collision with visiting goalkeeper Liam Roberts, Millwall fans chanted "let him die." Roberts was sent off for this incident.

Additional Information: According to Mail Sport, the English Football Association intends to investigate the homophobic chants directed at Chilwell. However, the chants aimed at Mateta do not fall under regulation violations, and no investigation will be conducted regarding them.
