Kissing an Opponent on the lips??

Just seen this on the Norwich v Sunderland Game.
A bit of a tussle on the side lines both players ended up face
to face the Sunderland player then kissed his opponent on the
lips.
Does anyone think action should/could have been taken

It's not the friendship trophy for nothing.
I'd say grabbing a player by the throat probably should have led
to some action

I'm surprised it's not compulsory nowadays

Yellow apiece required for me. I appreciate that the situation
was "managed" and kept under control but this can't be
tolerated. In addition to which O'Nien had become a bit of an
unguided missile on the pitch; a yellow for him at that stage
might just have calmed him (and the game) down. An opportunity
missed.

It's a shame we couldn't have kissed goodbye to Tim Robinson. He
had a shocker and the yellow card he issued to Danny Batth was
such a joke he should donate his match fee to Comic Relief.

The tackle by baath was a textbook sliding tackle timed to
perfection.
I didn't get to see all of the game but my favourite was the
aarons dive how he has gave a free kick there I will never know

Could it be considered as sexual harassment/assault?

I totally agree, but didn't want to comment as you get the "you
only commented because you lost". I will say Sunderland fully
deserved to win.
I think Robinson was shocking, his foul detection was awful,
there were 34 fouls! every time someone was touched or fell over
he gave a foul, his threshold was so low, his playing of
advantage was non existent, and all credit to Sunderland and
their expert timewasting which was allowed from the 15th minute
without any meaningful action apart from having a chat with
their captain mid way through the second half. Will be glad to
see him in the premiership next season.

Yes, but not expecting any action by the referee to report it or
for the FA to act.
