This is fantastic news, Sergi Canos has been let off from the headbutt he threw at the weekend into Gjanni Alioski.
After a flare-up in the dugout the Brentford man dug his head into the back of the winger but, after what must have been an investigation that last five seconds, he’s been cleared of all wrong-doing.
Suitably, we are annoyed with such a call and, get this, now the club has been asked to explain certain items being thrown after Neal Maupay’s goal:
Leeds have been asked to provide observations over the coins and missiles thrown at Neal Maupay after his penalty. Nothing been said yet about Pontus Jansson's post-match comments. #lufc

Phil Hay has delivered this news and though you can’t condone the object throwing, the Canos call makes you wonder just what the FA were watching.
Jansson’s comments remain an issue, too, but that was heat of the moment and no-one got hurt – we actually had a player get head-butted for crying out loud.
That’s the way it is, though, and it probably shouldn’t surprise that much at all.
