Livermore has been reminded by the FA that he can't take the law into his own hands

Jake Livermore will not face any disciplinary action from the FA over his confrontation with a fan during West Bromwich Albion's Premier League defeat away to West Ham United last week.

Livermore and the fan were involved in an angry exchange after the 28-year-old had been substituted during West Brom's 2-1 loss.

Taking into account the sensitivities around the incident, the FA does not believe Livermore should be subject to any formal action.

In the aftermath of the incident, West Brom confirmed that the England worldwide reacted by entering the stands "to confront one spectator who chose to make a comment about the death of his infant son".

Livermore has been reminded of his responsibilities as a player, however, and was cautioned over going into crowds to ensure his safety and that of supporters.

"Albion were very appreciative of the swift response by the officials of West Ham in dealing with this matter and are more than happy to leave any further action they deem appropriate in their hands".

He escaped a ban because of his unique personal circumstances after the death of his newborn son, Jake, during childbirth.
