Towards the end of Liverpool's 7-0 win over Manchester United, the United captain Bruno Fernandes appeared to shove an assistant referee.
No action was taken on the pitch and the FA won't charge him. But should this result in a ban in your view?
Two differing opinions below:
Martin Cassidy, chief executive of charity Ref Support UK, said it was a "serious offence" and Fernandes deserved "at least a five-game ban".
Former Premier League referee Dermot Gallagher told Sky Sports: "You don't want a player to be manhandling a match official, but I would suggest the assistant actually manhandles Fernandes more than he did. I think once the official does it first, Fernandes is almost like fly swatting, 'get out of my way, I want to get on with it'."
