Coulibaly repeats Brunner's polemic gesture after scoring at Le Mans
Mamadou Coulibaly could face LFP disciplinary action, as Paris Brunner did after a similar gesture in September, when he was suspended for four matches.
Midfielder Mamadou Coulibaly opened the scoring for Monaco in the 40th minute at Le Mans on Sunday, after goalkeeper Nicolas Kocik misjudged a poor back pass from Harold Voyer. It was his first Ligue 1 goal of the season, and he celebrated by miming a throat-slitting gesture with his thumb under his chin, the same one that landed Paris Brunner in trouble in September.
According to RMC Sport, the LFP disciplinary commission could examine the case. Brunner was suspended for four matches, two of them firm, for making that gesture toward Strasbourg fans on 12 September. He said he had not meant to be disrespectful and simply wanted to say the goal had settled the game. Coach Filipe Luis asked at the time that it not happen again.
