Everton boss David Moyes was left fuming after two
controversial decisions denied his team victory against Newcastle last night.
After seeing legitimate strikes from Victor Anichebe and
Marouane Fellaini ruled out, the Scot was left to rue what might have been
following the 2-2 draw at Goodison Park.
"I said [to the referee] 'you have missed two goals'. But
what can I do about it? We played very well and should have won the game
deservedly but didn't."
Manchester City have been given a timely boost with the news
that Sergio Aguero is set to return from injury.
Citeh begin their Champions League campaign against Real
Madrid at the Bernabeu tonight, and will welcome the Argentinian striker back
after a month out with a knee injury.
Across Manchester now
and United defender Patrice Evra has returned to full training, and is in
contention to start in his side’s Champions League opener against Galatasaray.
Evra missed United’s 4-0 romp against Wigan through injury,
and his return to fitness will prompt a selection headache for Sir Alex Ferguson,
who would have been impressed with Dutchman Alexander Buttner’s debut in the
same game.
Arsene Wenger meanwhile has admitted for the first time that Theo
Walcott could leave the Emirates in the near future.
The England winger is out of contract at the end of the
season, and so far talks over a new deal have not proven fruitful.
"Clearly it is
a worry," Wenger said. "We are still in a position where we hope Theo
extends his contract.” This news will no doubt interest managers across the country.
An Argentinean Premier Division game had to be delayed by
over ten minutes when a group of hooligans tried to enter the field of play.
The incident – which happened during the second half of the
Velez Sarsfield v River Plate tie – is the latest episode of football-related
violence in the country. It is believed that eleven people have died in
Argentina this year in fan-based feuds.
