They were fighting to win the match for their opposing sides in Sunday’s Premier League clash, and it appears Chelsea’s Eden Hazard thought that might be taken literally by Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure at half-time.
Hazard was caught on camera, via Manchester City’s official YouTube channel, looking rather startled as he was slapped on the back of the head by Toure as the two teams were appearing for the start of the second half at the Etihad Stadium.
Turning around to see who the culprit was, Hazard’s initial anger quickly subsides as he sees the Ivory Coast star smiling back at him – who then attempts to strike him again playfully before they re-enter the pitch.
