Troy Deeney facing no Football Association action for celebration

Watford skipper Troy Deeney will face no formal action from the Football Association for his celebration against Chelsea on Monday night.

The 29-year-old was in line for a second four-match ban from the English football governing body for his obscene gesture towards the crowd when scoring the Hornets' opening goal in the 4-1 win. Deeney reacted to the successfully-converted penalty by sticking his two middle fingers up, which he later put down to frustration due to speculation regarding his future at Vicarage Road. No further action awaits the striker, though, as the FA do not intend to look into the incident any further. Deeney is therefore free to feature in Watford's trip to West Ham United in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
