Wenger to avoid FA disciplinary action for Raheem Sterling comments

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger will escape disciplinary action from the Football Association over his claims Raheem Sterling "dives well", Sky sources understand.

Manchester City winger Sterling was adjudged to have been bundled over by Nacho Monreal early in the second half of the match at the Etihad Stadium, with Sergio Aguero converting the penalty to put the home side 2-0 ahead.

Wenger disagreed with the decision, and was also upset by the lack of an offside flag in the build-up to City's decisive third goal from Gabriel Jesus after Alexandre Lacazette had given the Gunners a lifeline just after the hour.

Wenger's comments could have left him facing a sanction from the governing body.

However, reports state that the Arsenal manager has been viewed to have not overstepped the mark - albeit only just.

Sunday's defeat left Arsenal in sixth place, now some 12 points behind Pep Guardiola's unbeaten side.
