FA to probe Millwall for fan striking Oldham's Anthony Gerrard

The Football Association will investigate reports that Oldham defender Anthony Gerrard was struck by a Millwall fan on Saturday.

Oldham lost 3-0 as Millwall secured a League One play-off place at The Den.

There was a pitch invasion at the final whistle and Gerrard said on his personal Twitter account on Saturday night that a Millwall fan gave him a "dig," before saying his "five-year-old hits harder."

Gerrard added: "These Millwall fans are comedy gold! They're very brave in the stands and on [Twitter]. Behave yourselves."

An FA spokesman told Press Association Sport: "We are aware of the reports and we will be investigating."
