A Seamus Coleman tackle on Raheem Sterling is one of the main talking points to come out of the thrilling Premier League clash between Manchester City and Everton at the Etihad Stadium, which finished in a 1-1 draw.

In the first half of what was a a thoroughly enjoyable tussle, the Republic of Ireland captain flew in late to a tackle on Sterling and planted his studs on the former Liverpool man's leg in a wince-inducing challenge that he was lucky not to get sent off for.

In fact, he wasn't even yellow carded for the challenge, which actually bent Sterling's leg backwards. Former Premier League ref Howard Webb was calling the shots on BT Sport and called the tackle an "ankle breaker".

The Twitterati were, as always, quick to voice their disapproval...and bemusement that ref Michael Oliver hadn't sent off the man from Killybegs.

It was uncharacteristically sloppy from Coleman. Maybe he heard Sterling professing a love for Instagram and Louis Vuitton bags.
