Tottenham's Matt Doherty somehow escaped a red card for a horror challenge on Chelsea ace Malang Sarr in the first-half at Stamford Bridge.
The Irishman went in extremely late on the centre-back, dragging his studs down the inside of his shin and Blues fans online were fuming.
It was just before the 20 minute mark when Sarr broke forward by the half-way line with Doherty in pursuit.
The Frenchman looked to have plenty of time as he laid a simple pass off, but how wrong he was.
As Sarr played the ball, Doherty lunged with his left and his studs scraped down the inside of the 23-year-old's leg - leaving him writhing on the ground in agony.
Medical staff rushed on as the match announcer confirmed a VAR check was taking place.
But the Stockley Park officials, led by VAR Darren England, decided the challenge did not warrant a red.
Paul Tierney had also NOT booked the former Wolves man so the game, and Sarr after lengthy treatment, carried on.
But Blues fans were not happy on social media.
'Ankle-breaker' and 'disgusting' were just some of the words used by shocked supporters.
