Emre denies claim of racist abuse

2Slick

Newcastle's midfielder Emre Belozoglu is contesting allegations that he racially abused the Everton goalkeeper Tim Howard and his black team-mates.

The Football Association is seeking to interview Howard, who is understood to have complained to Dermot Gallagher, the referee for last Saturday's match at Goodison Park, who included the comments in his report to Soho Square. Howard and the centre-halves Joleon Lescott and Joseph Yobo reacted furiously to comments made by Emre just before half-time after Gallagher awarded the visitors a penalty.
