Swansea boss Monk avoids FA action after 'cheat' jibe

Swansea City boss Garry Monk has avoided action over his 'cheat' jibe aimed at Stoke City winger Victor Moses.

The FA announced Monk will not face any further action following his post-match comments on October 19, when he was incensed over Moses winning Stoke a penalty from which they equalised on their way to a 2-1 win over Swansea at the Britannia Stadium.

Monk also described referee Michael Oliver's decision to award the spot-kick as "disgusting" and was asked to explain himself by the FA.

Swansea announced on Wednesday: "Swansea City can confirm that the Football Association will not be taking any further action regarding media comments made by manager Garry Monk following the recent Barclays Premier League fixture at Stoke City. The FA, who asked Monk for his observations following the fixture, has reminded the Swansea manager about his responsibilities regarding media comments."
