Sheff Utd 2 - 2 Villa FA to investigate Angel incident

Morgan: Squares up to Angel at full-time
The FA will study video footage of Aston Villa striker Juan Pablo Angel's apparent elbow on Sheffield United defender Chris Morgan on Monday.
The flashpoint happened towards the end of a thrilling 2-2 draw and was the prelude to angry scenes in the tunnel area after the final whistle.
Morgan was seen to race off the pitch - closely followed by United assistant boss Stuart McCall - and Villa manager Martin O'Neill admitted "a few words were exchanged in the tunnel".
Referee Mark Halsey took no action at the time against Angel, who came on as a late substitute for Chris Sutton, and the FA are waiting to establish whether the official witnessed the incident.
If Halsey's report indicates he did not see the incident, and the FA video advisory panel then decide there is a case to answer, the Colombian international could receive a three-game ban for violent conduct.
An FA spokesman confirmed: "We will await the referee's report from Mark Halsey to see whether he saw the incident and we will study any relevant video footage."
Villa boss Martin O'Neill has also promised to watch replays of the confrontation before deciding whether to make any further comment.
Angel, who has scored seven goals this season, has lost his place in the Villa starting line-up for the last two games to Milan Baros who scored Villa's equaliser against Neil Warnock's side.
But his absence during the forthcoming busy festive period would still be a big blow - if he is deemed to have been guilty of foul play at Morgan's expense - given the lack of depth in the Villa squad. -

Ask Cech or Cudini, and ask them whether physical contact better or diving better??
