Kolarov was alleged to have verbally abused the supporters as he warmed up on the touchlines before coming on as a first-half substitute.

The two Magpies fans complained to stewards following the dispute, leading police to launch an investigation into the incident.

However, a Northumbria Police spokeswoman has revealed that no further action will be taken, saying: "We can confirm there will be no further police action."
