Davinson Sanchez to Avoid Retrospective Action Over Laurent Koscielny Incident in North London Derby

Tottenham defender Davinson Sanchez looks set to avoid retrospective action from the FA, despite a controversial off-the-ball incident involving Arsenal's Laurent Koscielny in the 1-1 draw between Spurs and Arsenal at the weekend.

Sanchez appeared to put his studs into the Frenchman's knee in the second half, and although it wasn't addressed by officials at the time amid the carnage of a goalmouth scramble, footage of the incident soon surfaced on social media, leading to calls for a retrospective suspension for the Colombian.

That doesn't look likely to be the case, however, as Sky Sports say that officials caught the incident in real time, and deemed that it didn't warrant violent conduct.
