Hart will not face FA action for 'sledging'

Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart will not face any action from the Football Association for his apparent 'sledging' of Swansea City's Scott Sinclair on Sunday.

Hart began shouting at Sinclair as the Swans winger prepared to take his spot kick, which Hart pushed to safety.

Sledging has previously been deemed as unsporting behaviour, but FA sources have reportedly indicated that no action will be taken on this occasion.

Hart was penalised for a similar incident while playing for the England Under-21s in 2009.
