Taylor breaks Eduardos leg

A tackle so bad that the BBC say the TV coverage isn't showing a replay of it. Hope Taylor (sent off for the challenge) is suspended for as long as Eduardo can't play.

Did you see it?

I haven't seen the video, but although the pictures look horrible, it seems Martin Taylor wasn't out to injure him, but was late on the tackle. He isn't even looking at Eduardo when he hit him.

Still, it's a bad tackle, obviously, but I'd say somewhere in the range of 4/6 matches.

I'd have to see the video to comment more precisely, though.

My bro says he had tubes all over him going off on the stretcher!!!
Dunno if thats true but sounds horrific

Watching the game on sky. The angle they showed it didn't look to bad. I rewound and watched it a few times as at first I couldn't see why the red card came out. The reaction on the players around soon made you realise how bad it was.
No doubt one of the tabloids will have a graphic photo of it splurged across the back pages tomorrow 😞

wish the young boy all the best and a quick return to action.

taylor was not at fault, it was one of those things... he does not reserve to get a long ban, just the usual for a red card, which was a bit harsh.

I saw it, the tackle was nothing, I didn't think it even deserved a yellow.

I find Wenger's comments after the match distateful.
For someone that habitually 'doesn't see incidents' from the dugout it's amazing that he managed to see this incident!
"He shouldn't be allowed on a football pitch ever again" - is a ridiculous comment.

I don't like the video editors comments - but this video show the tackle and then a couple of close up stills showing the studs in and the moment after.

Wouldn't watch beyond 24seconds if squeamish.

It's a clear red, but not deserving of a very long ban. I'd say 3/4 games max.
