Evans spit branded 'simply disgusting'

Manchester United defender Jonny Evans' decision to spit at Newcastle's Papiss Cisse during a recent Premier League clash has been branded "simply disgusting" by a Football Association regulatory commission.

Evans had already been handed a six-match ban for the incident and the full written reasons for the punishment were released by the FA on Thursday.

The Northern Ireland international and Newcastle's Senegal striker Cisse were both charged after spitting at each other during Manchester United's 1-0 victory at St James' Park on March 4 in an incident missed by referee Anthony Taylor.
