Crystal Palace chief Steve Parish hit out at Millwall goalkeeper Liam Roberts after Jean-Philippe Mateta was rushed to hospital with a serious head injury during their FA Cup tie on Saturday. Parish described the incident as ‘one of the worst he had ever seen’ in all of his time in football in a furious rant about the red card challenge. During a half-time interview with BBC Sport, he said: “In all the time I’ve been watching football I don’t think I’ve ever seen a worse challenge. If you’re kicking someone in the head then you don’t know what damage may have been done.”
