Everton have confirmed they will submit a formal complaint to
The Football Association following criticism of Andrew Johnson by
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho.
Mourinho questioned Johnson's integrity during Chelsea's win over
Everton on Sunday, with the Portuguese coach suggesting the forward
dived during the first half at Goodison Park.
The comments prompted a swift response from Everton chief David
Moyes and Johnson said on Monday he was disappointed by Mourinho's
statement.
Everton stated they wanted The FA to look into Mourinho's comments
and they have now confirmed a formal complaint will be submitted to
Soho Square.
Toffees spokesman Ian Ross said: "We will now make a formal
complaint to The FA over Jose Mourinho's remarks regarding Andrew
Johnson."
