Jamie Vardy to escape punishment after kicking Shkodran Mustafi in the head

Daily Mail  

Jamie Vardy is set to escape retrospective action for his clash with Shkodran Mustafi despite Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta claiming the Leicester striker should have been sent off. Arsenal substitute Eddie Nketiah was sent off in the second half for a challenge on Foxes defender James Justin after referee Chris Kavanagh checked replays on the pitch-side monitor, leading Arteta to suggest Vardy deserved similar punishment. Jamie Vardy will not be punished despite appearing to kick Shkodran Mustafi in the head The incident happened in the first half of Leicester's draw with Arsenal on Tuesday night But Sportsmail understands the Premier League's top scorer is unlikely to face further scrutiny for the Mustafi tangle, meaning he would be clear to face Bournemouth on Sunday as Leicester look to build on their point against the Gunners. Vardy spent nearly four months on 99 Premier League goals after the coronavirus pandemic halted all professional football in England from mid-March until mid-June, but now has three goals in his last two matches, taking his tally for the campaign to 22 – two clear of Arsenal forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
