Man Utd's Cristiano Ronaldo will escape FA punishment

Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo will not face disciplinary action after appearing to kick out at Spurs defender Michael Dawson at White Hart Lane.

The Football Association contacted referee Mike Dean, who took no action during Saturday's goalless draw.

An FA spokesman said: "Having reviewed footage, he has confirmed he would not have sent the player off for violent conduct had he seen it.

"On that basis, no further action will be taken."
