Merlin gets kicked to death and assaulted worse on a regular basis Kun has simply over extended his knee and has been no more than unlucky on this occasion I don't think it was a particularly nasty challenge - was it a foul ? yes, thuggish and a deliberate nobbling attempt ? not for me on this occasion.
How can you say its not deliberate ? When the attempt starts, he's 2 yards behind Aguero, who is 5 yards from the ball, if its not a deliberate foul, what else is the thug doing, its even worse at full speed, and this was after he'd already been fouled once. 2 fouls in 10 seconds, one a long way off the ball.
If Aguero wasn't so honest, he'd have stayed down after the first foul, and got a free kick, but no he's determined to carry on, and score to his credit, which helped cause the injury.
Maybe the real cause of the injury is that tosser referee (Jones ?) who booked him for "diving" the previous week.
