Moyes was sent off for using "foul and abusive language" but the Everton boss says that he did no such thing.

"I have witnesses who can vouch very strongly that I didn't swear and that I did not use foul and abusive language," said Moyes. "I think the referee probably had an opinion of me before the game because of the prior situation at Southampton earlier this season. There doesn't seem to be any way of having your say but I'll make my views clear if I am given the opportunity of a personal hearing. I will express my opinion and I will contest every word Mr Bennett has alleged I have said,"
