Former United man lost his cool and aimed a kick at his own fan

In a Europa League tie this season (2017-18), against Vitoria SC, Marseille's Patrice Evra was sent off even before kick-off as he attempted to kick a fan on the sidelines during the pre-match warm-up.

Patrice Evra had a poor season so far with Marseille and the fans were not happy with his performances. Before kick-off, near the sidelines, travelling fans were aiming negative chants at the former Manchester United defender. Then they broke past the stadium barriers to confront Patrice Evra.

They were drawn into a really heated argument and all of a sudden, Patrice Evra aimed a high kick over the advertising boards towards a fan on the sidelines. He was rightly sent off by the referee for his violent misconduct.

Evra was fined €10,000 by UEFA and was banned from playing in European competitions until next summer. It was not the end of it. Patrice Evra was also fired by Marseille, and his contract was immediately terminated.
