Gabriel Martinelli will not face further disciplinary action from the Football Association after pushing referee Sam Barrott during Arsenal's FA Cup defeat to Southampton on April 5.
What happened?
The incident occurred in the 94th minute of the quarter-final loss, with Martinelli pushing Barrott on the arm as he attempted to gather the ball and take a free kick quickly.
Why it matters for Gabriel Martinelli
Martinelli was shown a yellow card in stoppage time, but given the on-field referee took action, he is not expected to face any retrospective disciplinary sanctions from the FA.
The Premier League leaders were beaten by their Championship opponents following Shea Charles' 85th-minute winner, with Victor Gyokeres having earlier cancelled out Ross Stewart's opener.
What comes next?
This marks the second time this season Martinelli has avoided further FA action after a controversial incident during a game, having also been booked but not punished further after attempting to push injured Liverpool full-back Conor Bradley off the pitch during January's Premier League fixture.
Martinelli has made 43 appearances in all competitions this season, providing 11 goals and five assists, and Arsenal return to action against Sporting CP in the Champions League on Tuesday.
Martinelli wrote on Instagram after the game against Liverpool, "Conor and I have messaged and I've already apologised to him, I really didn’t understand he was seriously injured in the heat of the moment."
And Arsenal will be relieved that Martinelli is available for their upcoming fixtures, including the Champions League match against Sporting CP.
So the focus will now shift to the Champions League, where Arsenal will look to bounce back from their FA Cup defeat, with Martinelli playing a key part in their attack.
The 24-year-old Brazil international has been in good form this season, and his availability will be a boost to Mikel Arteta, the manager, as they look to progress in the Champions League.
But the incident against Southampton will be a reminder to Martinelli to keep his cool in high-pressure situations, and he will need to be disciplined if Arsenal are to succeed in their remaining fixtures.
Martinelli's apology to Conor Bradley after the Liverpool game showed that he is willing to learn from his mistakes, and he will need to do the same after the incident against Southampton.
The FA's decision not to take further action against Martinelli will be a relief to Arsenal, but they will know that they need to be careful in their upcoming fixtures to avoid any further controversy.
