Crystal Palace manager Patrick Vieira will face no punishment from the Football Association following his altercation with a fan on the Goodison Park pitch last week, the PA news agency understands.

Everton’s 3-2 win over the Eagles on Thursday secured their Premier League status and sparked a pitch invasion which saw Vieira repeatedly goaded by a supporter before he attempted to grab the fan and aimed a kick at him.
