FA writes to Blades over incident | |
(about 4 hours later) | |
The Football Association will ask Sheffield United for more information after a plastic bottle was thrown at Chelsea's Frank Lampard on Saturday. | |

An FA spokesman said: "We'll establish whether the offender was apprehended and what action was or will be taken." | |
Blues boss Jose Mourinho said the offender should be jailed. | |
Mourinho told the Daily Mail: "If we can catch him and send him home or get him to spend a night in jail, that would be perfect. | Mourinho told the Daily Mail: "If we can catch him and send him home or get him to spend a night in jail, that would be perfect. |
