Both players appeared to throw spittle at each
other’s direction, after they got tangled up during United’s 1-0 win at Saint
James’ Stadium. As a result the English Football Association has offered Newcastle
United’s Papiss Cisse and Manchester United’s Jonny Evans suspensions of
seven-matches and six-matches respectively with immediate effect,” read a
statement on the FA’s website.
Cisse accepted the charge and his suspension
consists of six matches, which is the standard penalty for this offence, with
an additional one match as he has previously accepted a violent conduct charge
this season but Evans denied the charge but it was found proven, following an
Independent Regulatory Commission hearing on Friday [6 March], resulting in a
six-match suspension.“The incidents were not seen by the match officials but caught on video.”
