da cassino online： The Gunners team-mates had to be physically separated at the City Ground despite their side earning three points

da bet7： After a dire first 45 minutes, Arsenal's Premier League clash with Nottingham Forest burst into life after the break. In the second half, strikes from Gabriel Jesus and Bukayo Saka gave the Gunners a two-goal cushion, before Taiwo Awoniyi's late finish set up a grand-slam conclusion.

Despite this late pressure, Arsenal survived, which should have been cause for celebration. But Oleksandr Zinchenko was in no mood. The Ukrainian immediately stormed over to team-mate Ben White to give him an earful about something.

He was soon led away by Declan Rice before the situation escalated and after the game Mikel Arteta insisted that he had no problem with the fiery exchange.

"I love it! I love it because they demand more from each other," he told reporters. "They are not happy the way they conceded that [goal] and they are just trying to resolve it. It was a bit heated but that means it is not enough playing the way we played, the result has to be bigger and the clean sheet has to be there."

Not all on-field bust-ups end this amicably, though. Down the years, when emotion runs high, some players have even ended up suffering physical injuries inflicted by their own team-mates.

GOAL takes a look at some of the biggest on-field scraps…

Aston Villa's goalless draw with West Ham back in September 2019 was one of the more interesting 0-0s you are likely to see. Not only did Arthur Masuaku see red midway through the second half, Mings and El Ghazi also came to blows.

The defender seemed to take exception to his team-mate's casual defending, but El Ghazi did not back down. When Mings thrusted his face into the Dutchman, he returned the favour – a brave move considering Mike Dean was reffing. However, after a VAR check, neither player was dismissed.

The feud did not simmer for long either, with Mings publicly supporting El Ghazi when he was receiving criticism from Villa fans for his underwhelming performances.

Things did not conclude anywhere near as rosily after Bendtner and Adebayor locked horns during Arsenal's humiliating League Cup semi-final second leg defeat to Tottenham in 2008. In an interview with the club's official website back in 2020, the Dane gave his side of the story.

"He’s not really my cup of tea," Bendtner said. "I got on with most people in the team and made some really good friends, but me and him? Probably not so much.

"I remember him being substituted on and I think there was a key moment where I don't think the ball had been passed to him. There was a heated exchange of words where a lot was said between us, and then we squared up to each other. Then he sort of push headbutted me, so he sort of pushed me away while headbutting me on the nose. Then Gallas came in, split us up and took us apart."

Did Bendtner try and make amends with his strike partner? Absolutely not. "We tried to talk it through in the dressing room but not so much words… more something else," he added. "Then we got separated and called into the boss’ office the next day. We got fined and that was the end of it. We didn't really have any encounters at all from that moment. We never tried to patch things up."

Hugo Lloris vs Son Heung-min (2020)

Even when there's no crowd to raise emotions, footballers can still be tipped over the edge. During the eerie, pandemic-affected 2019-20 season, Son and Lloris had an intense disagreement after the half-time whistle was blown in Tottenham's 1-0 win over Everton.

The goalkeeper wasn't happy about the Korean's lack of tracking back, with the pair continuing to exchange robust views in the changing room. As one might expect, Jose Mourinho absolutely adored the drama, with his reaction to the incident being immortalised in the 'All or Nothing' documentary.

Graeme Le Saux vs David Batty (1995)

Watching back Blackburn Rovers' 1995 Champions League clash with Spartak Moscow is a stark reminder of just how much football has changed over the past few decades. The game was played on a decaying, frozen pitch in the Russian capital and with the Premier League side 3-0 down, Le Saux and Batty exploded.

After an inadvertent coming together by the touchline, Le Saux aimed a punch in Batty's direction in full view of everyone. Incredibly, neither player was sent off, but the defender did break his hand after failing to untuck his thumb before landing the blow.

Le Saux later wrote in his autobiography: "I hit the deck and, as I got up, he came at me very aggressively. He was being threatening and screaming things. His face was contorted with anger, as if he was going to rip my head off,” Le Saux wrote. “Hitting him was more of a pre-emptive strike than anything. If I had not hit him, I felt he was going to hit me."
