Chelsea FC footballer, Eden Hazard, was sent off after receiving a red card during last night’s match against Swansea. Hazard was penalised for kicking a ball boy in the ribs.

Following Hazard’s red card, Chelsea FC’s Twitter account sent the following tweet (which has since been deleted), accusing the ball boy of “trying to smother the ball”:
