FA seek more bottle info

The Football Association are to write to Sheffield United for further information about the incident which saw a fan throw a plastic bottle at Frank Lampard.

The incident happened in the closing moments of the Blues' 2-0 win at Bramall Lane when the England midfielder went to take a corner at the Blades' Kop end. Referee Martin Atkinson did not mention the incident in his report so the FA are to seek clarification from the club.

An FA spokesman said: "It was not reported by the match official and we will be writing to Sheffield United to ask for their comments and establish whether the offender was apprehended and if so what action was or will be taken."

Lampard has attempted to play down the incident, saying: "It was only a plastic water bottle and there are no hard feelings for me."
