Cisse sorry for Evans spitting incident

“I have apologies to make to a lot of people today. Firstly to my team-mates and to our supporters, secondly to Jonny Evans."

Newcastle striker Papiss Cisse has apologised to Manchester United defender Jonny Evans as the Football Association carries out an investigation into an alleged spitting incident.

Television replays suggested the pair had spat towards each other during Wednesday night’s Barclays Premier League clash between the Magpies and the Red Devils at St James’ Park after Cisse had reacted angrily to a tackle by Evans.
