David Moyes accuses Blackburn's Mauro Formica of simulation following Everton's 1-0 win at Ewood Park.

Everton manager David Moyes has accused Blackburn Rovers' Mauro Formica of simulation following his side's 1-0 win at Ewood Park.

The home side were awarded two penalties in the second half, both for fouls on Formica. However, the Toffees boss has insisted that justice was served when neither hit the back of the net, claiming that the Argentine dived on both occasions.

"I think they're both dives, the referee gets them both wrong and I think the boy went down too easy," he told Sky Sports News.

The visitors were awarded a controversial spot-kick of their own in the final minutes, when Christopher Samba was adjudged to have fouled Marouane Fellaini in his attempt to clear the ball.

"From whatever angle you look at it, Samba puts his two hands on Fellaini's shoulders and uses him for elevation," Moyes continued.

"So from my view, the referee's got two wrong in our box and one right in theirs."

Everton welcome Aston Villa to Goodison Park in two weeks' time after the international break.
