Danny Mills: evidence stacks up against Jonny Evans
Former England defender Danny Mills says Jonny Evans is looking in the direction of Papiss Cisse when he appears to spit at the Newcastle player during Manchester United's 1-0 win at St James' Park on Tuesday evening.
Both players face a minimum six-game ban after being charged by the FA for the incident.
"It's not at a natural time to spit," Mills says. "Jonny Evans eyes are looking at Papiss Cisse. I don't think you'd be spitting on the floor in that instance. When you go to spit you turn your head away."
Mills says spitting is "abhorrent - it's almost saying 'you are beneath me' which is disgraceful".
