Firmino will not be punished for Holgate incident

Roberto Firmino has escaped disciplinary action after Everton's Mason Holgate alleged the Liverpool star made a discriminatory comment during January's Merseyside derby, the Football Association has confirmed.

Following investigation, the FA has determined that there is not sufficient evidence to charge Firmino. Firmino did admit that he insulted Holgate in Portuguese, but denied using discriminatory language. 

In a statement, the FA said: "Having considered all of the available evidence, we consider it is not sufficient to raise a charge against Firmino.

"However, we are completely satisfied that the allegation was made in absolute good faith by Holgate and that there is no suggestion of this being an intentionally false or malicious allegation."
