Matteo Guendouzi is facing an FA ban for grabbing Brighton striker Neal Maupay by the throat in Saturday's ill-tempered clash.

Arsenal midfielder Guendouzi appeared to lash out at his countryman Maupay in two separate flashpoints during the Seagulls' win on Saturday.

Gunners players were incensed by Maupay after he jumped into Bernd Leno just before the keeper fell awkwardly causing him to suffer a serious knee injury.
