Chief Inspector Jamie Collins, Silver Commander for the match, said: 'I would like to thank the vast majority of supporters who came along to enjoy what turned out to be an intense game right to the very last minute. 'Thanks as well to all our officers and partners involved in the operation yesterday who contributed to what was a fantastic FA Cup tie.
'Incidents of tragedy chanting will not be tolerated and will be dealt with robustly. We are all familiar with fans taunting their opponents at football matches, but this is generally done in good humour and without offence. The incidents today crossed the line of what is acceptable, and we will work closely with both clubs to identify anyone responsible for committing offences during the event.
