West Ham Star Castellanos Accused of Spitting at Millwall Goalkeeper
On Saturday, Millwall goalkeeper Filip Marschall alleged that West Ham forward Taty Castellanos spat at him during the second half of the Dockers Derby at The Den, with Millwall leading 2-0.
The match marked the first Dockers Derby meeting between the London rivals in 14 years, following the Hammers' relegation to the Championship with a large-scale Metropolitan Police operation planned.
Sky Sports reported the fourth official confirmed Millwall staff lodged a spitting complaint, while referee Paul Tierney had earlier warned Marschall for time-wasting during the match, which ended 2-2.
Millwall boss Alex Neil stated he would be "extremely surprised" if the accusation proved false, while West Ham's Nuno acknowledged the allegation but said he had not seen images.
Confusion followed the incident involving players including Pablo, Jake Cooper, and Jarrod Bowen as the Dockers Derby concluded in a 2-2 draw, marking a dramatic finish to the 14-year rivalry renewal.
