Alleged racist abuse during Swansea City and Millwall match
Overview
During a Championship match between Swansea City and Millwall at The Den, Swansea winger Eom Ji-sung was reportedly subjected to racist chanting while warming up as a substitute. The incident caused a seven-minute stoppage as referee Edward Duckworth consulted with club managers and security. Stadium officials announced that police were reviewing CCTV footage to identify the offenders.
Both clubs issued statements condemning the behavior, with Millwall maintaining a ‘zero tolerance’ policy toward discrimination. Following the disruption, Swansea City won the match 1-0.
In the aftermath, Millwall manager Alex Neil drew criticism for his reaction to the match stoppage. While acknowledging the incident required investigation, Neil expressed frustration with the interruption, stating, “I just don’t see the point [of stopping the game for alleged racist abuse... All it does is kill the momentum.” He further noted that his perspective might have changed had his team been leading at the time.
