Manchester United striker Romeo Lukaku will not be sanctioned by the Football Association of England, media reported on the UK. Earlier today, it was reported that the Belgian may be punished for three matches, including the Manchester City derby, because he twice tried to bite Brighton`s defender Gaetan Bong in the groin. The incident took place immediately before the goal of the hosts during the corners, after which Ashley Young shot and Lewis Dunk turned the ball into his own door. Lucaku doubles his leg to the rival behind him. The Chief Referee Neal Sorkrick did not see the incident, which meant the episode had to be dealt with by a three-member committee made up of former referees. In order to punish Lukaku, the commission had to agree that the attacker`s actions had earned him a red card because of them. The experts were unanimous on this issue and no further action would be taken against him.
