Moyes ready to answer accusations

DAVID MOYES is prepared for a showdown with referee Steve Bennett after the bust-up that ended with the Everton manager being sent from the dug-out at the weekend.

Moyes was involved in a touchline row with the official, who claimed he was guilty of “using foul and abusive language and improper behaviour” after West Brom were awarded a controversial penalty during Everton’s eventual 2-1 win at The Hawthorns on Saturday.

But Moyes insists he did not swear at the official and did not barge into linesman Carl Bassindale. The Goodison chief claimed: “He ran into me.”
