What happened. West Ham came back from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 with Millwall at The Den on Saturday. During the second half, Hammers striker Taty Castellanos was accused of spitting at Millwall goalkeeper Filip Marschall, but referee Paul Tierney took no action.

• Millwall staff reported the allegation to the fourth official.
• West Ham remain unbeaten away from home this season.
• Tierney spoke to Marschall but no action was taken.

“I wouldn't presume Fil would say that without cause, if you like, so I don't know.”

— Millwall boss

The allegation could lead to a retrospective investigation, while West Ham's unbeaten away run continues.
