For grabbing the joystick of an opposition defender during a league match recently, Matt Miazga, Chelsea loanee, has been fined by Vitesse Arnhem.

Reports have it that the incident occurred on January 20th, during Vitesse’s 1-1 draw with Heerenveen.

Vitesse announced punishments for Miazga and Tim Matavz, who elbowed Dumfries in the same match on Wednesday.

Matavz according to the punishment, 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.’
