After missing almost the entire 2012-13 campaign with a broken ankle, you’d think that Neil Taylor would know better than to produce the sort of challenge that he did this evening on Republic of Ireland full-back Seamus Coleman.There are fears the Everton defender has broken his leg following the tackle by Taylor, which happened during the 68th minute of this evening’s 2018 World Cup qualifier at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin.Taylor went in hard on Coleman, who was left clutching his leg in agony following the ugly challenge.Italian referee Nicola Rizzoli ran over to the Welsh defender and issued a straight red card - and he could have absolutely no complaints.Scroll down to watch the video of the incident.

Video: Taylor’s ‘leg-breaking tackle’ on Coleman

Sky Sports wouldn't even show a replay of the incident, it was that bad.

Look away now if you don't wish to see it...

As you can see, it was a nasty one. Totally unnecessary to go in that hard.
