Sadio Mane was a pest for Chelsea at Stamford Bridge yesterday, with the Senegal superstar bagging a brace – but it could have easily been a hat-trick.
The forward was through on goal late in the first-half when it was still 0-0, but he was clattered by Andreas Christensen.

As the Danish defender was the last man, he was shown a red card for the challenge.
This caused a bit of controversy, but a new angle of the challenge shared to Twitter lays bare what a clumsy tackle it was from the Chelsea man – and a deserved sending off.
