Newcastle United’s Papiss Cisse could face an FA investigation after he, and Manchester United’s Johnny Evans appeared to spit at each other.

It happened during their 1-0 defeat to the Manchester side.

Head Coach John Carver said he didn’t see it: “I just saw a fracas on the halfway line between the two players.

“As far as I’m concerned I need to have a look it.”

Jonas Gutierrez made an emotional return to the field after overcoming testicular cancer.

Newcastle were unlucky not to get a point, after Manchester United scored in the 89th minute.
