They chanted for the ex-Tottenham manager to "f*ck off" and also labelled Boehly a "c*nt" in scenes of open rebellion in the away end.

Axel Disasi managed to equalise late on with a bullet header, earning the Blues a point, but they remain languishing in 11th, and were also beaten in last weekend's Carabao Cup final against Liverpool.
