Swansea and Leicester have been told no action will be taken against the two players involved in a post-match row at the Liberty Stadium on Saturday.

Home captain Ashley Williams and away forward Riyad Mahrez - who had scored a hat-trick in Leicester's 3-0 win - had clashed in the first half.

They then had to be separated in the tunnel 20 minutes after the match, which proved to be Garry Monk's final game at Swansea.

Williams later tried to find Mahrez after the Algerian winger had boarded the Leicester team coach before returning inside to the stadium.
