​Arsenal midfielder Guendouzi faces three-match ban

Arsenal midfielder Matteo Guendouzi could get a three match ban for his antics in Saturday's loss to Brighton.

Guendouzi was upset with the home side's Neal Maupay for his tackle on Bernd Leno, the Gunners goalkeeper.

The Frenchman grabbed Maupay by the throat and pushed him onto the ground after the game concluded.

And video evidence could get him a violent conduct ban, per The Sun.

Referee expert Mark Halsey, who was a Premier League referee, suggests Guendouzi "could be in trouble."

It is the last thing Arsenal need given they have lost two on the spin since the Premier League restart, and have suffered numerous injury problems in those games.
