Sunderland boss David Moyes apologises after threatening to 'slap' female reporter

Sunderland boss David Moyes has apologised to a female reporter after threatening to "slap" her in a post-match interview.

Moyes was involved in an exchange with BBC Newcastle and Radio Five Live reporter Vicki Sparks after the Black Cats' 0-0 Premier League draw with Burnley at the Stadium of Light on March 18.

Sparks had asked if owner Ellis Short's presence at the game had meant he was under more pressure with the club once again fighting a battle against relegation.

Footage published by the Daily Star shows the Scot answering, "No, none at all" before the interview drew to a close.
