AS another day in the world of football draws to a close, we take a look at the stories making the headlines, including how Manchester City star Yaya Toure has escaped disciplinary action over an incident with Norwich City's Ricky van Wolfswinkel.
MANCHESTER City midfielder Yaya Toure has escaped disciplinary action after the Football Association decided there was no case to answer over an incident in the match with Norwich City on Saturday.
The 30-year-old Ivory Coast star faced a potential three-match ban after appearing to kick Ricky van Wolfswinkel during the 0-0 draw, but after the incident was reviewed by a panel of ex-referees, the FA revealed there was no case to answer.
The decision is likely to anger Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho, who had said he should be banned following the incident.
Meanwhile, Cardiff City striker Craig Bellamy has been charged by the FA for violent conduct after an incident in the south Wales derby against Swansea.
The Welsh forward could now face a three-match ban after appearing to catch Jonathan de Guzman with his arm during the game.
Bellamy has until 6pm on Tuesday to respond to the charge.
