Chelsea fans have been outraged following Matt Doherty's 'disgusting' challenge on Malang Sarr, as the Blues hosted Tottenham on Sunday afternoon.

The Irish full-back dragged his studs down the ankle of Chelsea's French centre-back in the first-half of the game, leaving Blues fans bemused as Doherty escaped a red card.

It was in the 18th minute when Doherty set off in pursuit of Sarr, before controversially scraping the underside of his boot against the leg of the 23-year-old.
