Ex-Arsenal midfielder Matteo Guendouzi in fight with Real Betis legend during friendly

Former Arsenal star Matteo Guendouzi was at the heart of a pre-season fight with Real Betis icon Joaquin.

The French midfielder completed a permanent move to the Stade Velodrome this summer following a successful loan spell with the Ligue 1 outfit. Les Olympiens sealed his signature for what was a bargain £9million fee. Guendouzi has recently been taking part in his first pre-season as a full-time Marseille player but all did not go to plan in their recent clash against Spanish side Real Betis.

The game took place at Chesterfield's Technique Stadium on Wednesday evening, and there was a flashpoint between the two sides with Guendouzi involved. With the scores locked at 1-1 following goals from Arkadiusz Milik and Rodri, Joaquin approached the ex-Gunner in the final moments of the match after taking exception to a few heavy challenges.
