West Ham midfielder Lucas Paqueta has been cleared of spot-fixing charges and will face no punishment from the Football Association.
Paqueta was accused of trying to get himself booked to influence betting markets so that friends and family could benefit.
The Brazil international was cautioned in games against Leicester, Aston Villa and Leeds in the 2002-23 season and against Bournemouth the season after. Each game was the subject of suspicious betting patterns, with most traced to Paquetá Island off the coast of Rio de Janeiro where the player was born and from which he takes his name.
