Video: Philippe Mexes tries to strangle opponent after being sent off

Philippe Mexes seemed to lose his mind last night.

The AC Milan defender was sent off in the closing stages of his side's 3-1 defeat for grabbing Stefano Mauri by the throat. After the being shown a straight red card, Mexes, rather than walk off the pitch, went back for another pop at the Lazio midfielder. This time the French defender wrapped his forearm around the player's throat, as the other players tried to separate them. The Milan goalkeeper had to forcefully escort Mexes from the field. https://twitter.com/btsportfootball/status/559316963210448896 SS Lazio v AC Milan - Serie ASS Lazio v AC Milan - Serie A SS Lazio v AC Milan - Serie A SS Lazio v AC Milan - Serie A
