Davinson Sanchez is set to face no further action from the FA over his incident with Laurent Koscielny as it was seen by match officials at the time.

Tottenham defender Sanchez appeared to land a stamp on Arsenal defender Koscielny during a feisty North London derby on Saturday afternoon.

The Gunners and Spurs played out an entertaining 1-1 draw at Wembley, with Aaron Ramsey and Harry Kane getting among the goals before Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang saw a penalty saved late on for the Gunners.

After full-time, TV images of the incident between Sanchez and Koscielny emerged in which the Spurs centre-back appeared fortunate to escape a red card.

The two defenders found themselves in the Gunners' goalmouth after Spurs had missed an opportunity and they attempted to untangle each other.

Sanchez appeared to glance over his shoulder to check where his foot was going before adding more pressure on Koscielny's left knee.

It appeared at the time that referee Anthony Taylor missed the incident at Wembley as he failed to brandish a card or speak to Sanchez.

However, it's understood that the incident was in fact seen by the official - meaning no further action will be taken by the FA.

Arsenal, bidding to close the gap to their arch-rivals to one point, had taken the lead in the 16th minute when Ramsey broke clear after a mistake by Sanchez.

Kane had a first-half header ruled out for offside but eventually got on the scoresheet when he converted from the spot after being fouled by Shkodran Mustafi in the second half.

Prior to that equaliser Alexandre Lacazette had wasted a good chance to make it 2-0 to Arsenal, but it was the man who replaced him, Aubameyang, who cost his side victory with a poorly-struck penalty after Sanchez was adjudged to have fouled him.

A niggly game ended with Arsenal’s other substitute Lucas Torreira being red-carded for a high tackle on Danny Rose.
