Patrick van Aanholt aims dig at Matteo Guendouzi with Fellaini picture on social media

Ex-Crystal Palace defender Patrick van Aanholt resumed London rivalries with on-loan Arsenal ace Matteo Guendouzi as the pair clashed in a Europa League match between Marseille and Galatasaray

Former Crystal Palace star Patrick van Aanholt has aimed a sly dig at Arsenal midfielder Matteo Guendouzi on social media.

Guendouzi, who is on loan at Marseille, came up against Van Aanholt's current club Galatasaray in the Europa League on Thursday.

The on-loan Arsenal star went over in the penalty area in the 75th minute under a challenge from Van Aanholt.

Although referee Pawel Raczkowski initially awarded a penalty, VAR intervened and told the official to check the pitch side monitor.

After a quick review, the Polish whistler overturned his decision to deny Marseille what would have been an important spot-kick.

It proved to be a crucial moment in a match that finished 0-0, with Guendouzi letting the referee know his thoughts on the decision in the aftermath, before having words with Van Aanholt.

The bad blood between the pair didn't end there, because the former Palace man took to social media after the game to mock his frustrated opponent with a GIF of Marouane Fellaini pulling his hair.

Do you think Matteo Guendouzi should be given a chance back at Arsenal? Let us know in the comments section.

He wrote: "Running your mouth after VAR proved you wrong... likkleman needs to relax before I snatch that wig off your head. Well done to my lions for a well earned point on the roads."

Supporters loved it, with many posting their own GIFs underneath signalling that shots had been fired.

Guendouzi, though, was convinced that he should have been awarded a penalty.

Speaking to reporters after the full-time whistle, he said: "The player (Van Aanholt) didn't get the ball. He threw me off balance as I got into the box at full speed.

"It's clearly a penalty. The player does nothing but throw me off balance. It's annoying. Ten minutes just to check a penalty that should have been a penalty and then to not give anything afterwards..."

The stalemate at the Velodrome was enough to keep Galatasaray top of Group E.

Lazio are second after their victory over Lokomotiv Moscow, while Marseille remain unbeaten in third.
