ROME (Reuters) - Lazio defender Luiz Felipe has apologised for jumping on Inter Milan striker Joaquin Correa's back after the Roman club's 3-1 Serie A win on Saturday, saying he wanted to hug his friend but misread the moment.

The Brazilian was shown a red card after the final whistle for leaping on his former team mate, who left Lazio in the off-season, after the Roman club came from behind to beat the Italian champions in a fiery game at the Stadio Olimpico.
