The Bournemouth midfielder was caught by the arm of his Tottenham counterpart during Saturday's 0-0 draw, but he held no grudges about it
Harry Arter absolved Moussa Sissoko of any wrongdoing after the Tottenham midfielder appeared to elbow him during Saturday's goalless draw with Bournemouth.
Mourinho must deliver results worthy of Man United
Sissoko's flailing arm connected with Arter's face soon after replacing Dele Alli in the 72nd minute as they jostled for a ball at a throw-in.
Despite the Republic of Ireland international's protestations, referee Craig Pawson opted not to punish the former Newcastle United player, much to the frustration of the home crowd who felt he should have seen red.
After the match, though, Arter stressed that the incident was purely an accident.
"Sissoko said to me afterwards that he did catch me but that it was by accident," he told Sky Sports.
"He doesn't seem to be that sort of player, so I'm sure it was by accident and hopefully we can move on from it."
