Bad Case of The Blues: Chelsea Player Sent off For Kicking BALLBOY!

We don't feature soccer here all that often... but this just has to be shared.

If you were watching something other than the football tonight but were subjected to howls/screams etc. from another room… here’s why. 

This is the moment a Chelsea player got shown a red card after seeing red and kicking a ballboy

Chelsea’s Eden Hazard was shown a straight red tonight in the 80th minute of his side’s game against Swansea after he attempting to retrieve a ball from a young ballboy who seemed to be lying across it. 

With Swansea 2-0 up on aggregate, the Blues player was clearly keen to see play restarted as soon as possible, but wound up leaving a ten man side to see out the game’s closing minutes. 

Since the incident, a twitter account that appears to be that of the ballboy in question suggests it was pre-planned move…

 

Charlie has gained over 30,000 twitter followers in the hours since.
