Paris Brunner apologises for throat-slitting gesture after Monaco goal against Strasbourg

Monaco striker Paris Brunner has apologised after making a throat-slitting gesture towards Strasbourg supporters following his goal in a 1-1 French championship draw.

The 20-year-old German equalised in the 71st minute with an impressive long-range strike before running towards the Strasbourg fans and moving his thumb across his throat.

The incident could be referred to the LFP disciplinary committee, which may consider whether Brunner should face punishment.

After the match, Brunner said the gesture came in response to insults directed at his parents by Strasbourg supporters.

The forward later apologised for his actions on social media. It is not yet known whether he will receive a fine or a suspension.
