A club spokesman said: "Millwall Football Club deplores the actions of a small minority of its fans during the second half of Sunday's League One play-off final.

"Such behaviour is unacceptable and anyone found guilty of disorder will face life bans from the football club."

The FA, English football's governing body, said it 'condemns the disorder caused by a small number of fans' at the match.

A spokesman said: "We will work closely with the clubs, the Football League and the Met Police to identify those involved and take appropriate action.

Enquiries are continuing into matters inside the stadium but no arrests have been made so far.
