The Football Association have confirmed Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard will not be punished for a clash with Portsmouth's Michael Brown on Monday evening.
Gerrard appeared to strike Brown with his arm forcing the Pompey midfielder into a heap on the floor, clutching his face, during the 4-1 win for the Reds.
Referee Stuart Attwell decided to take no action during the game and the FA confirmed they would do the same, meaning Gerrard escapes a possible three-match ban.
It is the second time in a week the Liverpool talisman has been in the news for the wrong reasons, after appearing to make a two-fingered gesture at referee Andre Marriner during the 1-0 defeat to Wigan Athletic.
Again, Gerrard was not punished for the apparent gesture, and will be keen to concentrate on Liverpool's Europe League clash with Lille on Thursday evening.
