Monaco boss Henry explains foul-mouthed confrontation with Strasbourg's Lala

Monaco head coach Thierry Henry stated that he felt the sight of Kenny Lala time-wasting was "too much" after television cameras caught him seemingly launching a foul-mouthed rant at the Strasbourg defender on Saturday.

The Frenchman’s troubled tenure at the helm of the principality club took another turn for the worse as his side slumped to a 5-1 defeat at Stade Louis II to leave them second-from-bottom in Ligue 1 and facing relegation.

Veteran defender Naldo was sent off seven minutes into his second league appearance for the 2016-17 champions, while Cesc Fabregas endured a home debut to forget following his switch from the Premier League to link up with his former Arsenal team-mate.
