Get you hair cut! Arsenal boss Unai Emery orders Matteo Guendouzi to trim locks

Arsenal head coach Unai Emery has some simple advice for midfielder Matteo Guendouzi in the wake of his spat with Marouane Fellaini: get your haircut!

Fellaini was pictured tugging on Guendouzi’s hair during last night’s 2-2 draw with Manchester United but will escape a Football Association punishment because referee Andre Marriner dealt with the incident by awarding a free-kick at the time.

Emery insisted he had no issue with Fellaini going unpunished and instead urged Guendouzi to follow the United player’s lead by visiting the hairdressers.

He said: “I think the best thing is for the next match for Matteo to cut his hair, and this problem is finished! Like Fellaini!

“When I was a player it was the same. Today, with the cameras, all the situations happening in the 90 minutes can be seen. Some questions are for me between the players on the pitch. If it’s not a good action they can receive a card. On the pitch, the situation happened and it’s between the players.”
