Gary Neville labelled Destiny Udogie as a 'lucky boy' after the Tottenham defender clattered recklessly into Raheem Sterling in Monday's clash against Chelsea.

Udogie went in two-footed during a slide tackle as he attempted to win the ball back from Sterling who fortunately jumped over the incoming challenge.

VAR reviewed the incident but eventually decided a yellow card would suffice as punishment, something Neville vehemently disagreed with.

Udogie came off the ground with both feet and his studs up against Sterling and Neville is adamant the 20-year-old should have been sent walking.
