Moyes unhappy with Walton
Everton boss David Moyes accused referee Peter Walton of missing Dickson Etuhu's challenge that left Phil Neville with a gash on his knee during the defeat at Fulham.
Neville was carried off on a stretcher just after the hour mark in the 2-1 loss at Craven Cottage, with Damien Duff grabbing the winner after Paul Konchesky cancelled out Tim Cahill's opener.
Etuhu appeared to catch Neville with his studs as he followed through on a tackle.
"It was a bad miss for the referee to miss that," Moyes said. "In the football we play now it doesn't go on and I thought it warranted a free-kick and a yellow card. Phil has got a gash on his knee but he is not going to hospital. We will assess it later."
After working with Etuhu at Preston, Moyes feels the midfielder would not deliberately injure an opponent.
"I know Dickson quite well and I don't think he's that type of player," the Scot added. "But I thought he was late getting there."
Fulham boss Roy Hodgson added: "I'm convinced there was no intent on Dickson's part. From what I understand it was the follow-through that caught Phil. It would be very disappointing if Dickson was accused of that because it was the ultimate 50-50 ball. We're really, really sorry it happened and wish Phil all the best."
