Leicester's Demarai Gray avoids FA action for alleged dive against Man City
Wednesday 20 December 2017 19:19, UK
Demarai Gray will face no retrospective punishment from the FA after winning a penalty in stoppage time against Manchester City in the EFL Cup on Tuesday.
The FA convened a three-person advisory panel to analyse the footage, but they were unable to agree on whether Gray had dived or not under the challenge of substitute Kyle Walker to win the penalty.
For a charge of simulation to be given, all three members of the panel have to agree unanimously.

Therefore, Gray will not be charged and is available for Leicester in their next match against Manchester United on Saturday, live on Sky Sports Premier League.
Despite equalising late from the spot through Jamie Vardy, Leicester were unable to pull of a successful comeback against a much changed Manchester City side as they lost 4-3 on penalties.
Although Vardy was able to convert his first spot-kick to level the scoring, he and Riyad Mahrez missed consecutive penalties to put the Premier League leaders through to the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup.
