West Ham's Taty Castellanos accused of spitting at Millwall keeper Filip Marschall in 2-2 draw
West Ham forward Taty Castellanos has been accused of spitting at Millwall goalkeeper Filip Marschall during a 2-2 draw at The Den. The incident, which occurred in the 65th minute with Millwall leading 2-0, saw Marschall show referee Paul Tierney a spot on his shirt he claimed was spit, prompting Millwall to lodge a complaint. Both managers said they had not seen the incident. West Ham fought back from two goals down to earn a draw despite finishing with 10 men.
