FA Make Reported Decision on Mohamed Salah Ban Following Incident With Stoke Defender Martins Indi

Liverpool superstar Mohamed Salah has been cleared of wrongdoing by the FA after a panel of three former referees viewed footage of his alleged thrown punch at Bruno Martins Indi during Saturday's draw with Stoke City, per BBC's Simon Stone

The Egyptian was facing a ban that would have ruled him out of the Reds' remaining three games, but is now free to pursue the Golden Boot as said panel have determined that his actions did not warrant a red card.

The match official did not see the incident, leaving the FA to have the footage viewed by ex-refs, but they could not come to a unanimous decision, which is required by the governing laws.
