Ashley Barnes will not face retrospective action from the Football Association following his challenge on Nemanja Matic during Burnley's draw at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.

The Burnley striker caught the Serbia international with a dangerous studs-up tackle prompting Matic to retaliate by pushing Barnes to floor, earning the Chelsea midfielder a red card.

The FA confirmed on Monday that because the incident was seen by referee Martin Atkinson during the game no further action could be taken.

Such bull that because a ref sees an incident no further action can be taken. Why can't they just admit their employees made a mistake and make a move to rectify it.


I also want to comment on MCB saying because Matic's leg wasn't broken means it wasn't dangerous. You can see his leg bend in the videos. That's dangerous and lucky Matic's leg remained strong. Does not make it an okay play. That's a horrible argument.
