Erling Haaland will face no retrospective punishment for throwing the ball at Gabriel's head during Man City's feisty 2-2 draw with Arsenal on Sunday.

In a dramatic finale to the game, Haaland threw the ball at the back of Gabriel's head after John Stones scored City's stoppage-time equaliser, but the FA cannot get involved because the incident was reviewed by the VAR John Brooks at the time.

Brooks decided it was not an act of violent conduct and so not worthy of a red card, and the VAR cannot intervene to recommend a booking.
