FA could intervene in 'spitting' incident between players

Jonny Evans and Papiss Cisse could find themselves in hot water after they appeared to spit at each other during Manchester United’s dramatic 1-0 victory at Newcastle.

The United defender and the Magpies striker became involved in an angry first-half exchange during which the Senegal international took exception to the Northern Irishman’s challenge, and television replays suggested that the pair had resorted to spitting.
