FA Halt Further Action Over Sterling Missile Allegations 

The Football Association (FA) has opted not to pursue any further action after Raheem Sterling of Chelsea was alleged to have thrown a missile at the Tottenham supporters.

The charge followed Chelsea’s exhilarating 4-1 Premier League triumph over their London rivals on Monday, when they equalised, and the celebrations in front of home supporters. Cole Palmer tucked in a penalty and put his finger to his lips. Palmer was struck by something that appeared to have been thrown at the Chelsea players from the crowd shortly after, and Sterling is said to have thrown it back. Officials overseeing the event, however, were unable to see anything throughout the incident. The FA has determined that the 28-year-old does not require charges after analysing the circumstances, according to The Sun.
