The Football Association is to take no further action against Constantine Hatzidakis after it was alleged he elbowed Liverpool defender Andy Robertson.
Premier League Assistant Referee Hatzidakis was involved in a bizarre incident during halftime of Liverpool's 2-2 draw with Arsenal at Anfield last Sunday.
As the half-time whistle was blown Robertson approached Hatzidakis to remonstrate over an incident in the first half, but appeared to be elbowed by the official as the pair came close.

A furious Robertson, who had to be calmed down by his teammates, collected a yellow card for his troubles, but an investigation was launched by the FA following the match after the controversial incident was caught on television cameras.
Hatzidakis had initially been stood down from Premier League officiating duties while the investigation was undertaken but will now receive no consequences.
Hatzidakis said: "I fully assisted the FA with their investigation and have discussed the matter directly with Andy Robertson during an open and positive conversation. It was certainly not my intention to make any contact with Andy as I pulled my arm away from him and for that I have apologised.
"I look forward to returning to officiating matches."
