Luke Ayling is branded an 'IDIOT' after his 'disgusting' two-footed tackle and red card in Leeds' clash at Arsenal by Jamie Carragher, with the pundit slamming the experienced defender for a 'lack of professionalism'

Luke Ayling has been scathingly labelled an 'idiot' by Jamie Carragher after his horror tackle during Leeds' chastening Premier League encounter against Arsenal on Sunday.

The experienced defender clattered into Gabriel Martinelli near the corner flag after just 27 minutes, with his struggling side already trailing by two goals at the Emirates.

The challenge saw Ayling hurtle in with both feet, leaving the hosts' players furious.
