As the dust settles on a shocking incident in which Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta was left writhing in agony after a brutal karate kick to the head, Millwall fans have taken to social media to vent their anger and frustration.
The French forward was hospitalised after suffering the nasty injury during Saturday’s fiery clash with the Lions at The Den. And as news of the incident spread, supporters of the London-based club took to Twitter to unleash a scathing attack on Mateta, chanting “let him DIE” in a show of solidarity with their embattled team.
It is unclear whether any disciplinary action will be taken against the Millwall player responsible for the horrific tackle, but one thing is certain – the incident has left the football community reeling and sparked widespread debate about the level of aggression on the pitch.
The injury was so severe that Mateta was immediately stretchered off the field, leaving both sets of players and officials stunned by the ferocity of the attack.
