Everton boss Martinez unhappy with AVB demanding Lukaku apology

Everton boss Roberto Martinez is upset with Tottenham counterpart Andre Villas-Boas for dragging Romelu Lukaku into the Hugo Lloris controversy.

AVB says Lukaku should've called Lloris to apologise for clattering into him on Sunday.

"The good thing is you can watch the replay and see the video evidence," Martinez said.

"All Romelu is doing is carrying on his run, he cannot disappear. It is unfortunate.

"I don't think Andre Villas-Boas mentioned there was any intent or any wrongdoing from Romelu, he only mentioned he expected a bit of an apology.

"Obviously we are waiting for Roberto Soldado to apologise to Phil Jagielka, and so we can use the same phone call so we don't have to spend on two phone calls."
