'It's a CLEAR red card!' Cesar Azpilicueta left furious after Liverpool's Sadio Mane was not sent off for elbowing him in opening seconds of Chelsea's draw with the Reds before hitting out at lack of consistency from top flight officials

Cesar Azpilicueta believes Sadio Mane should have been sent off after he was elbowed by the Liverpool forward during Chelsea's 2-2 draw with the Reds on Sunday.

In an extraordinary incident that occurred just six seconds after-kick-off, the Blues captain was caught in the face by a leading arm from Mane while battling for an aerial ball during the Premier League encounter at Stamford Bridge.

Mane was booked for his challenge that left the Blues skipper down on the ground, resulting in him picking up the fastest recorded Premier League yellow card in history.
