VINE: Phil Bardsley’s horror tackle was the big talking point from tonight’s Chelsea win

The Belgian will feel this in the morning

It’s a Christmas miracle the England man didn’t see red for this attempt at a tackle

Chelsea have a three point advantage at the top of the Premier league table again after a 2-0 win over Stoke tonight at the Britannia.

Goals from John Terry and Cesc Fabregas secured the win and sees the Blues top at Christmas.

However the big talking point during the game was a first half tackle from Phil Bardsley on Eden Hazard

Jamie Carragher didn’t think it was a red but we certainly do.

The England man may plead that the winger is much quicker in real-life but there’s still no excuse for almost kicking the Belgian into 2015 a week early.
