Pardew irked by RVP elbow

Newcastle 0 Man United 3

Howard Webb failed to take any action against the Dutchman, who could nevertheless face a ban if the referee confirms in his match report he didn’t see the alleged offence, allowing the Football Association to review footage of the off the ball incident with the France international, 10 minutes before the end of a comfortable victory for the visitors that propelled them up to second.

Newcastle manager Alan Pardew urged the FA to scrutinise the actions of the United forward, who has history with the Tyneside club following an angry confrontation with Newcastle goalkeeper Tim Krul last season when playing for Arsenal.
