Homophobic abuse from a minority of Millwall fans (located in the East Stand) was heard by the linesman, and both managers were made aware of the incident before the club announced that they were conducting an investigation at half-time via the tannoy. 

Bowen was asked about the incident post match and he said: "The referee said to me [when he came over] is that it's my job to make you aware that I've been informed there were homophobic chants on the far side.
