Sunderland handed extension to respond to FA over David Moyes 'slap' warning

The FA contacted the club on Monday seeking observations about the matter and had wanted a response by the close of business on Thursday.

Sunderland and David Moyes have been given more time to provide observations to the Football Association regarding the manager's threat to "slap" a female reporter.

The Scot's behaviour has come under scrutiny this week after video emerged of an exchange with BBC journalist Vicki Sparks following the 0-0 draw with Burnley on March 18.
