Swansea beat Millwall 1-0 through a late Ronald goal, but the match was interrupted after an allegation of racist abuse towards Eom Ji-sung. The Guardian, carrying Press Association's report, says police were using CCTV to identify anyone responsible. No individual's guilt had been established in that account.
Officials stop play after the report
Referee Edward Duckworth halted proceedings in the 65th minute and spoke with the coaches and fourth official. The interruption lasted almost seven minutes. An announcement after play resumed said racist chanting had been reported and police were working to identify offenders.
Swansea coach Vítor Matos confirmed Eom was the player concerned and had been warming up. Alex Neil also acknowledged the report and condemned the alleged behaviour. Their comments do not replace the eventual investigation findings.
Clubs cooperate while the sporting result stands
Swansea condemned discrimination, thanked the responding officials and authorities, and promised further assistance. Millwall said anyone found responsible would face strong action and confirmed cooperation with the relevant authorities.
Substitute Ronald's last-minute winner kept Swansea top of the Championship at the report's assessment point. That completed result remains distinct from the continuing investigation.
Elsewhere in the same roundup, Middlesbrough beat Stoke 3-2 through a late Neto Borges goal after he had earlier scored an own goal. They remained second and extended their unbeaten run to five games. Those league developments provide context without resolving the allegation at The Den.
