The FA have confirmed that Chelsea women's manager Emma Hayes will not face any punishment for her shove on Arsenal boss Jonas Eidevall after their clash in the League Cup final last week.
Arsenal beat Chelsea in the final for the second consecutive year with Stina Blackstenius scoring a 116th-minute winner.
But the match was overshadowed by a confrontation at the final whistle between Hayes and Eidevall.
As the pair went to shake hands, Hayes stepped forward and appeared to shove into her opposite number.
Her anger was said to be in relation to a touchline altercation during the game between Eidevall and Erin Cuthbert.

Hayes also accused Eidevall of expressing 'male aggression', which angered Eidevall after the match.
The Arsenal boss said: "I think that's a very irresponsible way of labelling the behaviour that I have.
"I don't feel comfortable with that label, I don't think it's the truth to do that, so I think it's very irresponsible to do that."
It's now been reported by the BBC that Hayes will not face any punishment from the FA for her actions.
It means Hayes is set to be on the touchline for Chelsea's FA Cup semi-final against Manchester United on April 14.
Hayes has faced plenty of criticism online for her actions with Joey Barton taking a sarcastic dig while Ian Wright has become the latest to speak out on the incident.
"When you look at the clips, to use those words like "male aggression"...' Wright said.
"I don’t know what he [Jonas Eidevall] said to Erin Cuthbert, but she totally negated everything by pushing him.
"She’s not used to losing, and she’s lost twice now in that competition to Arsenal, but I thought she would’ve gone in the dressing room and said it was out of order.

"She doubled down on it and came out and said that.
"I can understand how she’s feeling, but that [allegation of male aggression] can finish him – if we don’t see those clips, that can finish him."
Former England star Jill Scott also felt Hayes was in the wrong for the type of word she chose.

She added: "It was the last minute of the game and they said 'Should we use a multi-ball system or a one-ball system?'.
"And she is asking for a ball to be thrown on, and Erin Cuthbert said something to him.
"He is very loud on the pitch, but I don’t think she should’ve used 'male'."
