The FA ‘seeking observations’ from Sunderland over David Moyes’ slap threat to female reporter

The Football Association have announced they will speak to David Moyes to get his version of events after the Sunderland manager threatened to "slap" a female BBC reporter.

Moyes said he "profoundly regrets" making the comments after taking offence at a question from BBC Newcastle and Radio Five Live reporter Vicki Sparks last month.

An FA spokesman said: "We are seeking observations from the club."

It will speak to Moyes to get his version of what happened after Sparks interviewed him following the 0-0 Premier League draw with Burnley on March 18.
