Sissoko charged by FA for Arter elbow

The Football Association has charged Tottenham midfielder Moussa Sissoko for an apparent elbow on Bournemouth's Harry Arter.

Moussa Sissoko has been charged by the Football Association for his elbow on Bournemouth's Harry Arter on Saturday.

Sissoko had only been on the field for eight minutes when he and Arter tussled for a loose ball at a throw-in, with the France international seeming to throw his right elbow into his opponent's face.

Referee Craig Pawson missed the incident at the time - despite having an excellent view - enabling the FA to take retrospective action.

An FA statement read: "Moussa Sissoko has been charged for an alleged act of violent conduct which was not seen by the match officials but caught on video.
