The Chelsea striker managed to stamp on not one but two Liverpool players during the course of the Capital One Cup semi-final second leg at Stamford Bridge.

The actions of the former Atletico Madrid player sparked a big response on social media and the Spain international is becoming as well known for his short fuse.

But is he the dirtiest player currently playing the game?
