Bolton forward Kevin Davies faces and FA investigation over remarks he made about referee Mark Clattenburg following the game against Fulham.

 

Davies scored what he thought was a perfectly good winner late on only to see Clattenburg rule it out for a disputed foul. Afterwards, Davies said "When I saw who was the referee I didn't expect to get anything off him. Over the years I have never got much from him. There was a penalty at Old Trafford last season and he did nothing - but I got a booking. Numerous bookings over the years - I don't know, I have always felt there is something personal there. Every time he referees us, I don't expect to get anything."

Davies has been asked to explain his comments by the FA. However, Bolton boss Owen Coyle has backed his players freedom to express his opinion."He is a terrific captain and a terrific player, who scored a perfectly good goal. It is only right he feels aggrieved. If people are going to get into trouble for being honest, it is a sad day.”
