nah it’s from Aurier, son takes his balance away then he lands awkwardly before the second coming together

in today’s game Sons tackle is a red, but it’s nowhere near a tackle that would cause a break like that
Watch the video someone put above it stops when it breaks and Aurier hasn't even touched him yet.
 
How bad was it? Was the foot ‘hanging’, i.e just dislocated, or was there actually bone penetrating the soft tissue and coming out through the skin?

no mate, that’s from Sky. They stopped before the break occurs, you can see he’s landed awkwardly on his foot it’s then when Aurier comes in; the combination of Gomes being in a very awkward position and Aurier going into a challenge
 
....I really don’t want to see replays or pictures, but for me there was anger in the challenge because it was retribution. The anger manifested itself with acceleration and no attempt to win the ball. I’m in no doubt he didn’t mean to injure Gomes, but he wanted to foul him.

He probably did want to foul him, but its still a bog standard dodgy tackle we see all the time. Its not a leg breaker, he hasnt gone right into his achillies with his studs, its just a clip which in every other case results in a foul given, yellow card and time wasted.

Looks like it has gone already in that clip to me. Hence why they stopped it there.
 

Having watched the replay a few times now; Andre is in an awkward position from the Son Challenge and has all his weight on the one leg when Aurier makes contact cleats first just above his ankle.
 
Sniff my ball bag.

The horrible rotter has gone in recklessly in a revenge tackle due to an earlier incident with Gomes.
As players do every match played. Our players do aswell. Normally nothing comes of them. You see far worse challenges in most games which don't result in injuries. Not saying it's not a red Card, but the intention was clearly just to bring him down. If that makes him a horrible rotter then every player I've ever seen is a horrible rotter. Horribly unfortunate for André.
