Leicester winger Demarai Gray cleared of alleged dive for penalty in Carabao Cup loss to Manchester City

Leicester winger Demarai Gray will not face any action for his alleged dive in Tuesday night's Carabao Cup defeat to Manchester City, the Football Association has announced.

Gray went down under a challenge from Kyle Walker to win Leicester a controversial stoppage-time penalty, which was converted by Jamie Vardy to force the quarter-final tie into extra-time.

City went on to win the penalty shootout 4-3 thanks to goalkeeper Claudio Bravo's heroics, but the penalty incident was a major talking point in light of the FA's bid to stamp out diving.

This latest incident occurred deep into time-added-on and video footage had been referred by the FA to an expert advisory panel to judge whether Gray could be charged with simulation.
