The FA's disciplinary committee reviewed the incident, where the Baggies defender was shown to strike the Palace goalkeeper in the face, during the weekend's 2-2 draw between the sides.

The blow forced the Palace goalkeeper to be substituted, leading Palace manager Neil Warnock to describe the event as "almost an assault."

Following the match, Eagles boss Warnock stated: "It's just like an assault. How come one of the four officials doesn't see that? Dawson goes for about five yards with his elbow and smashes him in the face."
