Liam Roberts: FA wants Millwall goalkeeper’s ban to be extended

Palace chairman Steve Parish described the challenge as “the most reckless I’ve ever seen” and that Roberts “endangered a fellow professional and maybe his life”.

On Monday Millwall said reporting of the incident “contributed to an unwarranted character assassination” of Roberts.

Millwall said he contacted Mateta after the match “with an apology which was accepted immediately”.

Roberts served the first game of his ban as Millwall lost 2-0 to Bristol City in the Championship on Tuesday.

Millwall supporters showed their support for the goalkeeper by holding a minute’s applause for Roberts in the ninth minute, while singing “there’s only one Liam Roberts”. There were also some boos.

Michael Oliver, who refereed the game, will not be involved in a Premier League match this weekend.

He sent Roberts off for the challenge after intervention from the video assistant referee (VAR).
