Neymar tackle sparks 19-man brawl as tempers boil over in PSG clash

An awful tackle on Neymar led to a huge brawl during Paris Saint-Germain's 1-0 home win against rivals Marseille on Sunday evening.

Samuel Gigot was shown a straight red card by referee Clement Turpin for his late challenge on Neymar. The French defender's feet were high and out of control when he made contact with his Brazilian opponent. It's believed Neymar wasn't injured by the tackle.
