Spitting allegations don’t wash

WAYNE ROONEY is unlikely to face any disciplinary action from the Football Association over the alleged spitting incident during the Merseyside derby.

The FA has received the report from referee Paul Durkin and it is understood that no action will be taken against Everton’s 17-year-old striker.

The decision will draw a line under the incident following Tuesday’s announcement by Merseyside police that they will not take any official action against the teenager.
