Arsenal captain Robin van Persie will face no further action over an incident involving Aston Villa defender Carlos Cuellar during the sides' FA Cup tie.

Villa boss Alex McLeish had called on the Football Association to investigate after he believed Van Persie had caught Cuellar with his elbow.

However, referee Mike Jones witnessed the incident at the time, meaning no retrospective action can be taken.
