Watford forward Richarlison will face no action from the Football Association after appearing to dive to earn his side a penalty in the 2-1 win over Arsenal on Saturday.

The Brazilian went down softly after a challenge from Hector Bellerin to earn Watford a spot-kick, which they subsequently equalised from.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger after the game called the the penalty award a "scandalous decision".

The incident, for the first time, went to the FA's new simulation panel, but they decided there was no conclusive evidence to suggest Richarlison dived.
