(Reuters) - Liverpool defender Dejan Lovren has accused Romelu Lukaku of deliberately kicking him in the face in the goalless Premier League draw with Manchester United on Saturday.

Lukaku's heel struck Lovren below his left eye after the Croatian's challenge on him before halftime and the Football Association backed referee Martin Atkinson's decision by taking no further action against Lukaku.
