Ex-Arsenal midfielder Matteo Guendouzi has hair pulled in pre-season fight between Marseille and Real Betis


 Former Arsenal midfielder Matteo Guendouzi was involved in a fight during a friendly between Marseille and Real Betis.

The 23-year-old has made his stay at Marseille permanent after impressing on loan at the French club last season.

Guendouzi’s time at Arsenal was ended by Mikel Arteta after the midfielder was involved in a heated altercation with Brighton forward Neal Maupay in June 2020.

And it appears Guendouzi hasn’t lost his fiery side as he was at the centre of a brawl during Marseille’s latest friendly.

Arkadiusz Milik put Marseille in front in the 87th minute but Rodri’s header three minutes later ensured that the game ended 1-1.

Straight after Betis’ equaliser, Joaquin angrily confronted Guendouzi and pushed his head towards the France international.

 


 

Guendouzi stood his ground but Andres Guardado then inflamed the altercation by pulling the Marseille midfielder’s hair.

Both sets of players piled in to diffuse the situation before the referee blew the full-time whistle.

 


 After the match, Joaquin aimed a dig at Guendouzi after he posed in a wig on Instagram and wrote: ‘You make me hesitate to wear hair long.’
