Story summary

On September 19, West Ham United faced Millwall FC in a highly anticipated Championship match after a 14-year hiatus. To prevent potential violence, 400 police officers were deployed around South Bermondsey station, which was designated as the main entry point for away fans. False messages suggesting South Bermondsey would be closed were circulating online to divert fans and potentially stir trouble.

The Metropolitan Police enforced special measures including a Section 60 order allowing enhanced stop-and-search powers without reasonable suspicion, aimed at maintaining safety during the match. Both clubs advised supporters to use specific transport routes to keep rival fan groups apart. West Ham reiterated its commitment to zero-tolerance for discriminatory behavior and emphasized that fans would face serious consequences if they violated this policy.

Despite these precautions, there were six arrests reported by police before and after the game. The match ended in a 2-2 draw, with no immediate reports of on-field violence or major disruptions.

🔮 Buoyed by only a second triumph at Chelsea in 36 years last weekend, Spurs’ task was made more routine by a 13th-minute red card for Palace forward Jean-Philippe Mateta for a studs-up tackle on Micky van de Ven. VAR intervened to assist referee Michael Oliver and it was largely one-way traffic after with Archie Gray able to open the scoring with a header after 25 minutes. Roberto De Zerbi’s team started the second half impressively and eventually doubled their lead with 17 minutes left through former Brighton centre-back Jan Paul van Hecke. It allowed De Zerbi to hand a league debut to Spurs’ teenager Luca Williams-Barnett on an enjoyable night for the north London club, but this latest defeat will increase the scrutiny on under-fire Palace boss Pierre Sage.
