Manchester City's Mario Balotelli has escaped the prospect of an additional six-game ban for his tackle on Alex Song in the 1-0 defeat at Arsenal.
Referee Martin Atkinson took no action in the match, but reported the incident had been seen, ruling out retrospective Football Association action.
Balotelli was sent off after picking up yellow cards for two unrelated fouls.
He could have faced extra three-game bans for violent conduct and what would have been a fourth dismissal of season.
