Sunderland boss David Moyes has been given another week to respond to a Football Association charge over his 'slap' comment to a female journalist.

Moyes was given until 6pm on Wednesday evening to make representations when he was charged with bringing the game into disrepute last week.

However, the FA has confirmed that the 54-year-old Scot requested further time and now has until May 10 to respond.
