The FA is set to investigate the incident to see if further action is required.

NORWICH 3-1 MILLWALL: Gary Rowett retaliated in the Millwall supporters' 'hurtful' chanting, which had demanded that his four-year tenure as boss come to an end. Norwich defeated the Lions for the third time in a row. More than 1700 people chanted that Rowett's football was "sh**," as the Norwich fans who predicted he'd be "sacked in the morning" declared them to be "out" themselves. Rowett almost led the Lions to the play-offs last season, when a 3-1 lead at home against Blackburn was turned into a 4-3 loss, but whatever goodwill remained after that appears to have drained.

In the third round of the FA Cup, Liverpool and Wolves played out a tense 2-2 draw on Saturday night at Anfield, with the match being replayed at Molineux.
