No action will be taken against West Brom defender Ahmed Hegazi following a clash with Liverpool striker Danny Ings at the Hawthorns on Saturday.

Ings, who was in for the rested Roberto Firmino, had earlier given Liverpool a fourth minute lead but Salomon Rondon's late header saw struggling West Bromwich Albion come from two goals down to draw 2-2.
