Referee Paul Tierney stopped play during the clash between Millwall and West Ham following an allegation of spitting made by Filip Marschall against Taty Castellanos

Millwall goalkeeper Filip Marschall has accused West Ham striker Taty Castellanos of SPITTING at him during Saturday's Dockers Derby. The incident occurred midway through the second half with Millwall leading 2-0 at The Den, where there was a charged atmosphere.

Referee Paul Tierney, who normally officiates at Premier League level, stopped play to speak to Marschall. His allegation was then reported to fourth official Lewis Smith by Millwall's coaching staff.

When play restarted, West Ham mounted a comeback. The away side quickly made it 2-2 through goals from Mohamadou Kante and Kostas Mavropanos.

Kante was then sent off in the 89th minute as he desperately prevented a Millwall attack. The hosts pushed for a winner in front of a baying crowd, but the two London clubs had to settle for a thrilling draw in their first meeting since 2012.
