Fa Probes Aston Villa Duo And Millwall Pitch Invasion

The Football Association is investigating Aston Villa’s Jordan Ayew and Idrissa Gueye over an alleged incident at Watford on Saturday, Sky Sports News HQ understands.

Ayew – who scored one of Villa’s goals in the 3-2 defeat – and Gueye reportedly entered the Elton John Stand at Vicarage Road and confronted Watford fans who had been taunting them.

The FA are aware of the incident and are waiting to see the match officials’ report.

Caretaker Villa boss Eric Black claimed the incident was “absolutely nothing” and it is understood Aston Villa will not be looking into the incident.

Separately, the FA is investigating a claim by Oldham’s Anthony Gerrard that he was hit by a Millwall fan during a pitch invasion at the Den.

The Lions won the game 3-0, which guaranteed them a place in the League One play-offs.

Gerrard – cousin of Liverpool legend Steven – tweeted: “Poor performance from the boys today, sorry to all the travelling fans who came down.

“Hopefully we’ll finish on a win at home next week. And to the Millwall fan who give me a dig, if you are going to sly someone make sure it puts me to sleep! 5 year old hits me harder #irons.”

He later added: “These Millwall fans are comedy gold! They’re very brave in the stands and on here. Behave yourselves.”

An FA spokesman said: “We are aware of the reports and we will be investigating.”
