AVB Calls Torres Decision 'A Disgrace'

[Folami David]

The FA's decision not to take action against Chelsea's Fernando Torres for scratching Jan Vertonghen's face was "a disgrace" and "farcical", Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas said on Wednesday.
.
Television replays showed the Spaniard digging his fingers into Vertonghen's face after the two came together following Torres's trip on the Belgian which earned him a yellow card during Saturday's draw at White Hart Lane.
.
"It's extremely difficult to know where to start," Villas-Boas said ahead of his side's Europa League clash with Russian side Anzhi Makhachkala in Moscow.
.
"Obviously, it is almost a farcical decision. It doesn't matter to me which player or club is involved."
.
Torres was later sent off for a second yellow card following another clash with the defender and the FA said on Tuesday that as a match official saw the first "coming together of the two players, albeit not in its entirety", it could not take retrospective action.
