CISSE NA EVANS WAFUNGIWA KUCHEZA
Chama cha soka cha England FA kimethibitisha kuwa mshambuliaji wa Newcastle Papiss Cisse na beki wa Manchester United Jonny Evans wamepewa adhabu ya kufungiwa kucheza kwa kosa la kutemeana mate. Cisse amefungiwa mechi saba na Evans mechi sita.
Cisse amepata 7 kwa sababu aliwahimpiga mchezaji kipepsi.
The duo have now been handed lengthy suspensions, with Cisse's punishment one game higher than the standard tariff for spitting due to an elbowing offence earlier this season. Cisse reacted angrily to Evans' 38th-minute challenge on him during the Red Devils' 1-0 win in midweek and television replays suggested both men had spat in the direction of the other as the confrontation degenerated. The incidents were not seen by the match officials but caught on video and Evans and Cisse were charged after a panel of former elite referees unanimously agreed they both had cases to answer. An FA statement on Saturday read: "Both players were charged in relation to an alleged breach of FA Rule E1[a] in that in or around the 38th minute of the fixture they spat at each other. "Mr 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. "Mr Evans denied the charge but it was found proven following an Independent Regulatory Commission hearing on Friday, resulting in a six-match suspension."
