’Pool pair off-hook

STEVEN GERRARD and Mohamed Sissoko are in the clear after the FA confirmed they will take no action against the Liverpool duo despite controversial clashes during their clash at Bolton on Monday.

Bolton boss Sam Allardyce was unhappy that Gerrard and Sissoko were not punished after alleging the pair had stamped on his players in two separate incidents during the game.

However, referee Mark Clattenburg has confirmed in his match report that he saw both Gerrard’s clash with Kevin Nolan and Sissoko’s tackle on El-Hadji Diouf.
