PSV Eindhoven want UEFA to look at video evidence against Newcastle United's Titus Bramble, claiming that the Magpies' defender elbowed one of his players.

TRIAL BY TV

PSV manager Guus Hiddink, claimed that Remco van der Schaaf was elbowed during a tangle between the pair in Thursday evenings 1-1 UEFA Cup draw.

Referee Gilles Veissiere took no action at the time, but Hiddink wants UEFA to look into the matter and possibly take further action.

Hiddink said: "I have not seen it, but they have seen it on television and there is a clear elbow.

"I think in this case, Uefa will make a judgement on the elbow.

"When they see an incident like that, they can see it clearly on television. I was not happy, because of this incident, with the referee.

"I felt he was chasing one or two players from my team, which I didn't like very much. It's not an international standard.

"My team should have dealt with it better, but they fell into the trap. I thought the referee was chasing one or two players and I thought he was looking for van der Schaaf in the incident that led to their goal.

"I am not happy with that. I didn't think it was a foul."
