And Newcastle boss Joe Kinnear could face an FA charge after being asked to explain his "Mickey Mouse" comments about referee Martin Atkinson.

Football Association disciplinary chiefs have written to the 61-year-old, who has a week to respond, and then a decision will be taken on whether or not further action is required.

An FA spokesman: "The FA have confirmed they have written to Joe Kinnear to ask him to explain his comments about referee Martin Atkinson following the game at Fulham."
