right-back DeAndre Yedlin will face no further action following an incident
involving Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud in Sunday's defeat, Sky Sports News
understands.
Yedlin's elbow appeared to connect with Giroud's head as he shielded the
ball from the Frenchman, moments before he whipped in a cross for Joselu to
head Newcastle level with just seven minutes remaining.
The matter was referred to the 'not seen' panel, made up of three ex-elite
match officials, to determine whether the United States international should
face retrospective action.
Having reviewed footage of the incident, the panel were not unanimous that
it was a red card offence, therefore, no further action will be taken
Just four minutes later, Yedlin turned Marcos Alonso's cross into his own
net to give Chelsea a winner - ensuring Maurizio Sarri maintained his 100
per cent Premier League record.
