Good news for the Chelsea fans. Diego Costa for his clash with Liverpool defender Martin Skrtel during Chelsea’s 3-1 defeat to Liverpool on Saturday.
The Spain international appeared to have flicked his boot into Skrtel’s midriff in the second half after both the players fell on the ground following a side tackle from the Slovakian defender.
The referee, Mark Clattenburg was close to the incident and he felt no offence had taken place.
The FA’s disciplinary department is satisfied with the way the matter was handled at the time and feels there was no malice in Costa’s challenge.
