Diafra Sakho escapes FA punishment

The Football Association decide not to punish Diafra Sakho for his alleged headbutt on Luke Shaw.

West Ham United striker Diafra Sakho will face no action from the Football Association over an alleged altercation with Luke Shaw at the weekend.

It was recently reported that Sakho had headbutted the Manchester United full-back during the home side's 2-1 victory at Old Trafford.

Neither referee Lee Mason nor his assistants saw the incident, which is said to have left England international Shaw with a black eye.

However, having reviewed video footage, the FA have decided that there is no case for Sakho to answer.

Had the centre-forward been charged with violent conduct, he would have faced a three-match suspension.
