Josh Dasilva Is Getting Some Heat On Twitter For Horrific Challenge On Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg

Josh Dasilva nearly left Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg with a broken leg in the EFL Cup game on Tuesday evening. How much more horrendous can a tackle get? The Brentford midfielder somehow contrived to lunge in point blankly at the chin of his Danish opponent after losing the ball, and you can’t but scratch for answers at why the guy had to make such a bad challenge.

This looks really bad, the gash and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg is actually a lucky dude even. By the look of things, it really could have been even worse. Mike Dean consulted the VAR and sent the boy for an early bath, but Twitter would not fail to give him the rough side of the tongue.

Josh Dasilva was made to look like a superstar by #NUFC – he’s had a shocker tonight. Awful tackle that.

What a horrible dirty little rat that Josh Dasilva is. Dirty tackle and easy red.

That tackle by Josh Dasilva is just shocking!

He had no reason to do what he did! That is just disgusting!

No excuse for that as that was 100% deliberate in my eyes!#TOTBRE

Good to see that Woolwich filth
Josh Dasilva get sent off.
That was a disgraceful tackle #TOTBRE #COYS #THFC

Josh Dasilva got paid exactly in his own coins with the sending off. I don’t think Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg will be too happy with him either. Tottenham won the game 2-0, but Dasilva won the most shitty tackle of the game.
