Van Persie accuses Adebayor of 'vicious stamp'

Arsenal striker Robin van Persie has accused his former team-mate Emmanuel Adebayor of committing a “mindless and malicious stamp” on him during today’s Barclays Premier League match at Eastlands.

Van Persie said in a statement that Adebayor, who moved from Arsenal to Manchester City for £25m in the summer, had set out to hurt him and had not offered an apology.
