Patrice Evra's 'Kung-Fu Kick' Inspires A Selection Of Incredible Memes

We live in 2017, so when something big happens in the world of football, a series of photoshops and memes will be created within the space of 12 hours and that is why we love the internet.

If you didn't manage to catch the story last night, Patrice Evra was remarkably sent off before Marseille's game with Vitoria in the Europa League tonight after kicking one of his own fan's in the head. No this actually happened.

Original fan footage showed Evra aiming a kick at one fan's head before being ushered away by his teammates as travelling l'OM fans spilled onto the area behind the goals and started confronting the left-back.

Further footage was then released showing Evra marching towards the fans, who reportedly had been hurling abuse at the French full-back before squaring off with them, aiming a punch at one before he dished out his best Eric Cantona impression.

Evra received a red card before the game even kicked off for his offence, leaving Marseille with just six substitutes for the game against Vitoria.

For hours after the incident, many spoke about the Frenchman's actions and some beautiful people on social media decided to meme the scenes:

The internet never disappoints, does it.

Never change.
