Tweet and Delete: Chelsea’s Gary Cahill posts Leroy Fer foul on Twitter, now it’s gone

Swansea’s second goal

Gary Cahill Tweets GIF

For many years now, the Premier League have come down like a ton of bricks on any account that posts footage from England’s top flight on Twitter.

This evening, an England international and high profile player has done just that and looks likely to walk into a ban which Chelsea can ill afford.

Cahill posted a GIF of the Leroy Fer challenge on himself, which took Swansea 2-1 up in a game that finished 2-2 on Sunday afternoon.

“Incredible”

The Chelsea central defender was clearly incensed that the goal had stood and felt he was fouled by the Dutch midfielder.

Said GIF was followed up with a Tweet simply saying “Incredible” and nine angry red emojis.

Seriously, what a dumb move!

If Andre Gray is up in front of the FA for Tweets he wrote four years ago, when not playing in the Premier League, what can Cahill expect?

Below are screenshots of the Tweets (Cahill deleted his tweets a couple of hours later).

Cahill could now miss upcoming games, with John Terry also an injury doubt, which means likely game time for the returning David Luiz.

Chelsea’s next game: Liverpool home on Friday night!
