Crystal Palace defender Joachim Andersen is set to escape retrospective action over the incident which left Bournemouth’s Jefferson Lerma with a broken nose during Saturday’s Premier League meeting.
The pair were involved in an off-ball clash midway through the first-half of Palace’s 2-0 win, with Bournemouth boss Gary O’Neil left furious at a lack of intervention from the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) after the Eagles centre-back appeared to punch his player in the face.
