Montpellier fans let the side down

Montpellier

– Former champions Montpellier could lose all three points due to unruly fans who forced two stoppages in their 3-0 Ligue 1 win over local rivals Nimes on Sunday.

The first ‘Languedoc derby’ in 25 years had promised plenty of drama, but neither players nor officials could have foreseen the mayhem.

The incidents could lead to sanctions for Montpellier, who are now nine points behind runaway leaders and champions Paris Saint-Germain. –
