Report claims heated tunnel altercation after Millwall draw
The final whistle did not cool the derby down. The New York Times, as quoted by Claret & Hugh, reported a heated tunnel altercation involving players from West Ham and Millwall after the 2-2 draw.
The same account said Arne Engels and Caleb Taylor defused a confrontation between Jarrod Bowen and Mathis Servais. The retained report does not link directly to the New York Times article and supplies no independent corroboration, so both incidents remain attributable claims rather than confirmed events.
