David Moyes stood accused of verbally abusing a second female football reporter on Monday night after footage emerged of him aiming an expletive-laden rant at Jacqui Oatley.

On the day Moyes, the Sunderland manager, responded to the Football Association over his threat to “slap” BBC journalist Vicki Sparks, the corporation revealed an earlier post-match interview that provoked another angry outburst by the Scot.

The FA was already considering charging the former Manchester United manager over the Sparks spat and will be under even more pressure to do so now after the emergence of an incident that casts doubt on his claim that his conduct last month had been “out of character”.
