Kompany tried to ‘do’ Cahill, blasts furious Toffees boss

The incident occurred in the second half, when the game was still goalless. Cahill was booked for a rash challenge but as Kompany took evasive action, he landed on the midfielder’s leg.

It quickly became apparent Cahill would not be able to continue and he was replaced by Louis Saha. Moyes reported afterwards his player had only suffered bruising to his shin but felt the damage could have been far worse and pointed the finger at Kompany.
