Premier League’s current class of bad boys: the top 10

ESPN’s Alison Bender and Stewart Robson analyse the tackles made during the Manchester City and Tottenham match.

The Premier League has long held the titles as “the toughest” and “most physical” of the big five leagues in Europe and through the years has had no shortage of bad boys and villains.
