Neil Warnock looks to have escaped punishment from the Football Association for his reaction to the now infamous goal-that-never-was incident at Bristol City on Saturday.

The Crystal Palace manager was furious after Freddie Sears' goal was ruled to have gone wide rather than hit the back of net, ranting in the face of the fourth official and the linesman and refusing to shake the hands of Bristol City players after the game.

However, the FA seem to have taken a lenient stance given the circumstances of the event after charging Sammy Lee, Darren Ferguson and Paul Lambert with improper conduct charges from matches at the weekend and Tuesday night, but making no mention of Warnock.

It has been reported though that chairman Simon Jordan has been asked to explain his comments to the Daily Mail in which he said: "I think Bristol City cheated, I think they know it was a goal, " and added "You’d like to think the match officials, the three of them, would’ve spotted the ball had crossed the line."
