The Football Association have decided Pep Guardiola will not face any action over his controversial celebration during Manchester City's win over Liverpool on Saturday.
City's manager was accused of lacking class after playfully celebrating in the face of Liverpool substitute Kostas Tsimikas on his way back to the Reds' dugout immediately after Julian Alvarez had struck his side's equaliser. Guardiola also shook the hand of Liverpool midfielder Arthur Melo before patting him on the head as he struggled to contain his glee at City drawing level.
Neither player reacted to his antics, though BT Sport pundit Rio Ferdinand remarked: "That celebration there, I don't know how Tsimikas hasn't pushed him out of the way... He couldn't contain himself." Yet Guardiola will not face any punishment, according to The Echo.
