Papiss Cisse could be facing a ban if the FA get involved

Seamus Coleman is probably reaching for some form of painkiller this morning for the awful whack to his jaw in Sunday’s 3-2 loss to Newcastle.

The Donegal man was on the end of not one, but two forearm smashes into his face by Papiss Cisse during the loss at St James’ Park in the first half.

The striker didn’t receive any caution for the offence and then went on to score at the end of the first half to cancel out an opening goal from Kone.

Speaking afterwards Everton manager Roberto Martinez was not impressed by the actions of the officials or the African striker:
