'Ribery was wrong' - Fiorentina owner condemns winger for shoving official during Lazio defeat

The Frenchman pushed a match official after La Viola lost to a Serie A rival over the weekend, with Rocco Commisso refusing to defend his actions

Fiorentina owner Rocco Commisso admitted that Franck Ribery "was wrong" for pushing an official during a 2-1 defeat to Lazio at Artemio Franchi Stadium on Sunday.

Ribery, who was named Serie A MVP in September, twice pushed the official in a heated exchange on the pitch after La Viola's controversial loss to Simone Inzaghi's side.

The veteran winger had earlier become frustrated at being substituted 14 minutes before Ciro Immobile's goal sealed a victory for the visitors at the Artemio Franchi.
