Manchester United striker Joshua Zirkzee avoided punishment after a crude celebration against Southampton.
United staged a stunning late comeback against the Saints on Thursday night in the Premier League, winning 3-1 despite being below average and second best for much of the game.
Amad Diallo emerged victorious, scoring a hat-trick in 12 minutes to dig his team out of a hole and continue their good form.
Zirkzee, meanwhile, after being booed by his own fans in the first half less than a month ago, was praised for his involvement after being introduced as a second-half substitute on Thursday.
And the player himself did not hide his joy at his team's change in the match, celebrating crudely as he chased Amad to score one of his three goals of the night.
However, it has been revealed that he will not face further punishment and the FA detailed their decision.

Joshua Zirkzee avoided sanction for crude celebration against Southampton
Zirkzee will be available for selection against Brighton after being reminded of his responsibilities
He made the gesture while celebrating one of Amad Diallo's goals at the end of the match.
“As guidance, we have sent Joshua Zirkzee a reminder of his responsibilities and he will face no further action,” a statement read.
Zirkzee came into play in the 53rd minute, replacing the ineffective Rasmus Hojlund up front.
Fans hailed him as a “game changer” in the match, and the Dutchman played a key role in the turnaround.
But it was non-football issues that left fans baffled after the game, when replays of Zirkzee's celebration appeared on social media.
The striker could be seen chasing Diallo, who performed a knee slide in front of the home fans before being mobbed by teammates Alejandro Garnacho and Lisandro MartÃnez.
However, before reaching the striker, Zirkzee stopped short and punched the air in a torrent of passion in front of the celebrating fans.
Rather strangely, however, he appeared to grab and shake his crotch while looking at the fans.
However, he avoided suspension for the action and will be available for selection in United's home game against Brighton this weekend.
