During Portsmouth's 3-1 win over Aston Villa, Harry Redknapp has claimed Villa supporters were guilty of using "filthy" and "abusive" language towards him. He claimed he was sickened by the songs as there were many children in the crowd.

Aston Villa have today responded to Redknapp's claims, saying, "If Harry Redknapp or Portsmouth make a complaint to us then we will consider what is said and make our investigation.

"There are stewards behind the dug-out area and they are trained in all types of security.

"We would really need to see the degree of the complaint before we could go any further."
