Patrick Vieira will not face any action from the Football Association following his altercation with an Everton fan last week.

Having initially tried to ignore the provocation Vieira kicked out the supporter who was also recording the incident.

Merseyside Police announced on Monday that they would not be taking the matter any further and the FA have now followed suit.
After reviewing the flashpoint and everything that led up to it the FA have taken a common sense approach in deciding not to punish Vieira.
Concerns have been expressed across the game about the safety of players, managers and club staff and how they are being left exposed to situations like the one involving Vieira at Goodison Park following a spate of pitch invasions in the closing weeks of the season.
And the FA are continuing to investigate
