Leicester defender Chilwell enjoys dig back at Millwall striker Morison

Leicester City defender Ben Chilwell has enjoyed a dig back at Steve Morison after a past slight.

Now a full England international, less than two years ago Chilwell was accused by Millwall's Morison of being too scared to take throw-ins in Leicester's FA Cup defeat at The Den.

Morison said at the time: “The left-back started taking throw-ins and after a couple of bits of verbals, he didn't want to take a throw-in.

“I'm not being funny, he said his fingers hurt him. Come on, we are playing football. He asked the centre-half to take the throw-ins."

As he celebrated his England debut, Chilwell laughed: “It was a load of rubbish. It was something, one of those things, I think one of the older players for Millwall maybe wanted to get at one of the young boys.

“It was strange but each to their own."
