Everton midfielder Marouane Fellaini has apologised for his part in an incident during the second half of the 1-1 draw at Stoke.
Fellaini appeared to headbutt Potters defender Ryan Shawcross and the Belgian could now face a ban if he is charged by the FA after referee Mark Halsey missed the incident.
Everton manager David Moyes took a dim view of Fellaini's actions and said after the game: "I have told him in the dressing room that it is not acceptable. I won't accept it as a manager that he does that."
Fellaini later issued a statement on the club's official website which read: "I apologise completely to Ryan Shawcross, my team mates and to our fans at the game.
"There was a lot of pushing and pulling going on inside the Stoke penalty area and I didn't feel I was getting any protection from the officials.
"Nevertheless I know I shouldn't have done what I did.
"I have also apologised to the manager and the staff. I have no excuses, I was disappointed with the way I was being treated and I lost my temper, which was unprofessional of me."
