Chelsea Striker Punished For Allegedly Grabbing Opponent’s Joystick [Photos]
On-loan Chelsea’s striker at Vitesse Arnhem, Matt Miazga, has been fined for grabbing the private parts of an opposition player during a league match.
The incident happened during Vitesse’s 1-1 draw with Heerenveen as the American footballer clashed with Denzel Dumfries.
On Wednesday, Vitesse announced punishments for Miazga and Tim Matavz, who elbowed Dumfries in the same match.
Striker, Matavz will serve a four-match ban imposed by the Dutch football association (KNVB) while both players were fined by the club for “inappropriate behaviour.”
“First of all, we regret the commotion that has arisen,” Vitesse technical director Marc van Hintum said.
“We have fined both Tim and Matt directly after the events because they do not fit the behaviour shown within the fair play concept of the club.”
Miazga, 22, who joined Chelsea from the New York Red Bulls in 2016, made two Premier League appearances for the English club before joining Vitesse on a loan deal.
