Charlton manager Alan Pardew has been cleared of improper conduct by the Football Association.
Pardew was charged for a touchline confrontation with Arsenal counterpart Arsene Wenger while still West Ham boss during the Hammers' victory at Upton Park on November 5th.
Wenger was also charged last month and fined £10,000 for his part in the incident, but an FA disciplinary commission today found that the charge against Pardew "was not proven".
An 89th-minute strike from Marlon Harewood gave the Hammers a 1-0 win over Arsenal, sparking astonishing celebratory scenes from Pardew, who was subsequently shoved by an irate Wenger.
After the game Wenger refused to shake hands with Pardew and the West Ham boss publicly apologised for his exuberant celebration after the goal.
Meanwhile, Charlton's Osei Sankofa has had a claim for wrongful dismissal rejected by the FA and has been given an extra game's for a "frivolous" appeal.
The Charlton defender was sent off for denying Robin van Persie an obvious goal-scoring opportunity during Tuesday's Barclays Premiership match against Arsenal.
The commission added that the claim was frivolous and gave Sankofa an additional one-match suspension, meaning he will miss the club's next two matches - Saturday's FA Cup third round tie at Nottingham Forest and the Barclays Premiership home match against Middlesbrough on January 13th.
