Following his accusation of hurling a missile into the Tottenham crowd, Chelsea attacker Raheem Sterling will not be subject to any more FA proceedings.
The accusation came after celebrations in front of home supporters following Chelsea’s thrilling 4-1 Premier League victory over their nine-man neighbors on Monday, where they had equalized.
Cole Palmer placed his finger to his lips and tucked in a penalty.
Then, it appeared as though something was thrown from the crowd toward the Chelsea players; Palmer appeared to get struck before Sterling is said to have tossed it back.
But match officials saw nothing that evening.
After reviewing the situation, the FA has concluded that the 28-year-old does not need to face charges.
Sterling may have faced a ban if he had been prosecuted and found guilty.
Richarlison, a forward for Tottenham, was fined £25,000 and given a one-game suspension for flinging a lit flare onto the Everton crowd.
After then, Sterling set up the first of Nicolas Jackson’s final three goals to secure one of the Premier League’s wildest wins ever.
In addition to sending Cristian Romero and Destiny Udogie of the Spurs out with red cards, referee Michael Oliver handled five goals that were disallowed and a few VAR challenges.
The green light for Sterling might potentially alleviate his frustration at once not being selected for an England comeback.
The 82-cap hero was left off of Gareth Southgate’s squad for the Three Lions’ dead-rubber Euro 2024 qualifiers against North Macedonia and Malta at home.
