Sunderland's friendly match against Al-Shabab in Dubai proved anything but as the two sides came to blows - leaving the game at risk of postponement.
With Sunderland 1-0 up thanks to a goal from Amad Diallo the story of the match soon became about an ugly bust-up near the centre circle with Lynden Gooch among those seen fighting with Al-Shabab's players.
The fight escalated with more players getting involved and it resulted in Sunderland co-owner Juan Sartori going on the pitch to try and restore some peace and order, with some Black Cats stars seen walking off the pitch in the aftermath.
