Chelsea legend Paul Canoville has argued that Dan James should be ARRESTED for his horror challenge on Mateo Kovacic.
James was shown a straight red card by referee Anthony Taylor as a consequence of planting his studs high on the leg of Kovacic and leaving the Croatian unable to continue in the contest.
James could have absolutely no arguments about the decision to send him for an early bath, with it being one of the worst challenges that we have seen in the Premier League this season.

Chelsea legend Paul Canoville, who was the first-ever black player to run out for the Blues, believes that the red card was not sufficient and James should face even further punishment.
Canoville argued that the police ought to get involved…
You mate @Daniel_James_97 should be ashamed of yourself. Should have been arrested for that challenge not just sent off!!!!! Thuggery not football #DirtyLeeds

It’s likely just hyperbole, especially with avid Chelsea fan Canoville no doubt furious to watch Kovacic hobble off in the week of the FA Cup final. It would be a first, though, were he to end up behind bars…
