Premier League chiefs won't take action against Chelsea for the contrived substitution of John Terry during victory over Sunderland on Sunday.
PA Sport says the Premier League is relaxed about the substitution which took place midway through the first half of the champions' 5-1 win over Sunderland, despite it being forecast on social media by the Chelsea fanzine editor before kick-off.
News of the premeditated move could have alerted gamblers to a situation they might have looked for ways to exploit.
However, there is no suggestion the move was anything other than an attempt by Chelsea to give their long-serving captain a farewell to remember in front of the club's fans.
The timing of Terry's departure was significant - he wears the number 26 shirt - but it began when the clock clicked on to 26 minutes, which is the 27th minute, and by the time he left the field it was the 28th minute.
