Sissoko escapes ban after stamp on Kenedy, Newcastle fans react

Tottenham midfielder Moussa Sissoko has escaped a ban after his stamp on Newcastle winger Kenedy.

Spurs managed to grind out a 2-1 win in their Premier League opener against the Magpies on Saturday and Sissoko’s actions enraged the home fans.

The Tottenham midfielder fouled Kenedy and then stamped on the back of his leg just before half-time when his team were 2-1 up. He escaped a sending off during the game and now the FA has decided not to take action as well. The midfielder could have easily picked up a 3-match ban.
