Patrice Evra joined today a shameful list of players who attacked fans. What may seem even more surprising is that he did it by hitting one of his own team's supporters.
Prior to the beggining of today's game against Vitoria Guimaraes, Evra was preparing to start the game when some fans broke barriers to complain about his recent performances. Things escalated as the fans started insulting the left back, who got entangled with one of them up to the point where he kicked the fan's head.
