Watch Crystal Palace's Jean Philippe-mateta In Hospital After 'reckless' Horror Challenge

Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish branded the challenge by Millwall goalkeeper Liam Roberts that left Jean Philippe-Mateta in hospital as 'the most reckless' he has ever seen.

Roberts was sent-off just eight minutes into Saturday's FA Cup fifth round tie, which Premier League club Palace won 3-1, after catching Mateta's head with his boot as he raced out to clear the ball.

Referee Michael Oliver only issued a red card after a VAR review.

Mateta received lengthy treatment, including oxygen, on the pitch before being stretchered to an ambulance and transported to hospital.

'What we know, he's got a bad gash behind his ear and a head injury. Obviously he's at the hospital. So, we hope for the best,' Parish told the BBC.
