Liam Rosenior’s Strasbourg reunion, a 2-1 win then a flare-up with fans | OneFootball

Liam Rosenior guided Paris to a 2-1 win over former club Strasbourg at Stade Jean-Bouin, then became embroiled in a post-match flare-up with away fans.

As reported by L'Équipe, the Paris coach set his team up superbly, but mismanaged the aftermath by answering insults from the Alsatian ultras, which sparked a brief fracas.

The tone was set before kick-off, with the visiting section loudly booing his name as the stadium announcer introduced the teams.

On the pitch, Paris were the sharper side and their superiority showed.

After the whistle, Rosenior reacted to prolonged abuse by gesturing towards a section of the Strasbourg support, further inflaming tempers by the touchline.

His bond with the club has frayed since he left in January to join Chelsea, with officials staying measured while many fans have not forgotten.

Fittingly for a charged night in Paris, a line from Les Rita Mitsouko rang true, some love stories tend to end badly.
