The Metropolitan Police has confirmed three men were arrested after disorder at the end of Millwall's FA Cup win over Leicester.

All three were arrested on suspicion of affray and remained in custody on Sunday morning.

A 57-year-old Millwall fan was released with no further action. Two Leicester City supporters - a 49-year-old man and a 25-year-old man - have both accepted a caution.

According to the Metropolitan Police, no officers or police horses were injured.

Millwall moved into the quarter-finals of the competition when a late goal from Shaun Cummings earned them a 1-0 win over the Premier League champions at The Den.

Hundreds of fans invaded the pitch after the final whistle and mounted police were called in to keep fans apart as missiles were thrown.
