Having watched it a few times I have formed the opinion that Taylor went in to do him, it was deliberate.
I don't think he intended the multiple compound fractures or anything, but his foot was so high when it first contacted the leg (studs first) that I can't see it as an accident.
Yeah, looking at the stills from the paper, there is no reason to put a foot in that high. He must have intended to administer some pain at the least. :dabs:

Agreed. I think it was just intended as the classic early hard tackle to get the opponent thinking. Eduardo's foot was planted and he was moving into the tackle so major injury.
