Everton's Anichebe: I thought Nolan broke my leg

Everton striker Victor Anichebe admits he feared he'd broken his leg after clashing with Newcastle United's Kevin Nolan yesterday.

"I've never felt as much pain in my life," he told evertonTV. "I thought I'd broken my leg.

"I couldn't even look down, to be fair. It was a terrible tackle but I don't think he really meant it, he came and said sorry. But what can you do?

"I felt so much pain. Now it's not too bad. It's not as bad as I first thought anyway, but I'm feeling a bit of pain in my knee and the back of my calf and down my shin so we'll see how it is."
