In a surprising turn of events, the Football Association (FA) has announced that neither Manchester City nor Arsenal will face any retrospective punishment following their intense match on Sunday. The clash reached a boiling point when Erling Haaland threw the ball at Gabriel Magalhães after City’s last-minute equalizer, igniting tempers on the pitch.
Despite the dramatic incident, which was reviewed by VAR official John Brooks during the game, the FA has determined that no further action is warranted. Sources indicate that while the FA’s disciplinary team reviews contentious incidents weekly, they found nothing in this match that merits additional scrutiny.
As fans and analysts digest this decision, questions arise about the implications of such conduct going unpunished. Could this set a precedent for future encounters? Will players feel emboldened to act without fear of repercussions? The football community is left on edge as they await the next chapter in this unfolding saga.
