Barton apparently made an offensive gesture towards Liverpool's Fernando Torres during the game on Saturday.

The FA have investigated the incident that happened during Newcastle's 3-1 win over Liverpool and have decided there will not be any action taken against the former Man City midfielder.

An FA spokesman said: "We will be writing to him to remind him of his responsibilities."
