Bacary Sagna says Bradley Johnson broke his leg on purpose

Arsenal defender Bacary Sagna broke his leg against the Canaries on Saturday – and says Bradley Johnson did it deliberately.

In an interview with L’Equipe he said:

“I think he did it on purpose. He stepped on my leg. Play continues, I get back on my feet. And when I tried to control the ball, I felt a crack, just like the first time at Tottenham.

“He stepped right where the plate was. I think the plate pressured (the bone). It’s a neat break, just above the plate.”

It all seemed fairly innocuous at the time, and when you look at the video on YouTube it still does.

There’s a brilliant comment on there which reads “If that is a stamp then my arse is a fire engine”, and that just about sums it up.
