Branislav Ivanovic has amazingly escaped an FA charge following his violent confrontation with Everton midfielder James McCarthy. The Chelsea defender dodged a ban despite TV footage showing Ivanovic wrapping his arm around McCarthy’s throat and choking him. It also appeared to show Ivanovic move his head in the direction of McCarthy. But a three-man panel of former referees decided Ivanovic’s behaviour was not worthy of a red card, meaning he has escaped retrospective action and a possible three-match suspension.
