schema:articleBody	Fans of English Championship club Millwall appeared to boo as players took a knee in support of the fight against racial injustice on Saturday. In footage seen on social media, booing from the stands at the London-based club is heard after referee Darren England blew his whistle for the players to make the gesture. Players at Premier League and English Football League games have been taking a knee since football restarted in June following the coronavirus shutdown. Only 2,000 spectators were allowed inside the ground for Saturday's second-tier match between Millwall and Derby due to Covid-19 restrictions. Fans of Millwall, who in the past gained a reputation for violence, revel in their unpopularity. Ahead of the game, the topic of players taking a knee was discussed on Millwall's fans forum and the first-team squad said in a statement on the club's website that they supported efforts to end discrimination. "We wish to make clear that taking the knee, for us, is in no way representative of any agreement with political messaging or ideology," it added. "It is purely about tackling discrimination, as has been the case throughout." The Football Association issued a statement after the match, which Derby won 1-0, saying it supported players' right to protest. "The FA supports all players and staff that wish to take a stand against discrimination in a respectful manner, which includes taking of the knee, and strongly condemns the behaviours of any spectators that actively voice their opposition to such activities," a spokesman said. Elsewhere, Norwich scored two late goals through Josh Martin and Max Aarons to beat Sheffield Wednesday 2-1 and return to the top of the table. Reading stretched their unbeaten Championship run to four games with a 2-0 win over 10-man Nottingham Forest, courtesy of goals from Lucas Joao and Michael Morrison. Veljko Paunovic's side are in third place in the table on 30 points, behind Bournemouth on goal difference. Swansea are in fourth place after a 2-0 win at home to Luton while Stoke are in fifth spot after a header from Nathan Collins proved enough in a 1-0 win against Middlesbrough. jw/jc
