Granit Xhaka at centre of bust-up in fiery Switzerland vs Serbia World Cup clash

Serbia were furious after they weren't awarded a penalty in their World Cup defeat against Switzerland - as Granit Xhaka got himself involved in a late bust-up.

The Arsenal skipper was at the centre of a mass brawl between the two sets of players following a clash with Serbia defender Nikola Milenkovic. Milenkovic was attempting to shield the ball out for a goal-kick when he clashed with Xhaka and shoved the midfielder.

Xhaka did not stand down and the pair squared up with players from both sides getting involved in a melee which gradually made its way back to the middle of the park. Both players were given yellow card for their troubles, with Xhaka needing to be pulled away from the scene by teammates as tensions continued to escalate.
