Chelsea Fans Furious After Jamie Vardy's Nasty Tackle On Cesar Azpilicueta 1

Jamie Vardy’s nasty tackle on Chelsea full-back Cesar Azpilicueta during England’s 2-2 stalemate against Spain in an international friendly has not gone too well with the Blues fans.

The incident happened in the fifth minute when Vardy, trying to win a 50-50 ball, dived full length and won the ball with his left leg before thrusting it into the Spaniard’s shin. Replays showed the dangerousness of the challenge as the Leicester City star lunged at the Chelsea star with his studs up. The Spaniard was seen reeling in pain after the nasty blow but continued to play after receiving treatment. Chelsea manager Antonio Conte, who was attending the game, would have heaved a huge sigh of relief to see his man not getting injured from the severe challenge. The Blues are set to Middlesbrough on Sunday and are already facing some fitness issues. Their star men-Diego Costa and Eden Hazard are doubtful for the clash after picking up injuries on national duty.
