Beckham, Donovan to face a disciplinary probe

Los Angeles, Sep 14(ANI): Los Angeles Galaxy footballers David Beckham and Landon Donovan will face a disciplinary probe following a bust-up with FC Dallas players after their 6-3 defeat at Home Depot Center in California.

The incident took place after when Donovan and Beckham were involved in a brawl with Dallas midfielder David Ferreira and defender Daniel Hernandez.

According to reports, Donovan had kicked out at Ferreira and received a shove from Hernandez, following which Beckham joined them as he raced over to grab Hernandez by the neck.

All the players had to be separated by their coaches.

"It would have been better if we had shown that fire in the game," The Sun quoted Bruce Arena, LA Galaxy head coach, as saying.

Beckham could face a harsh punishment in the disciplinary probe, as he has already been sent off once this season. (ANI)
