Moyes Not Too Happy With Referee.

Everton boss David Moyes was not very happy with match referee Peter Walton after his captain Phil Neville was carried off at Craven Cottage on Sunday.

Moyes was angry after Walton did not even blow for a foul after Fulham midfielder Dickson Etuhu lunged in at Neville, leaving him with a deep gash on his knee.

But Moyes gave Etuhu the benefit of the doubt, having signed the Nigerian midfielder during his spell in charge at Preston.

Moyes said: “Phil’s got a gash in his knee. He’s going to travel home with us rather than go to hospital so we think it’s OK, but we’ll assess it later.

“I know Dickson quite well and I don’t think he’s that type of player. I do think he was a bit late in getting there.

“In the football we play nowadays, I think it merited a free-kick at least, possibly even a booking. But it wasn’t given. If you tackle and your trailing leg comes through, you’re liable to give away a foul. That, at least, happened so that was missed and it was a bad miss for the referee.”
