Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer has given his verdict on Chelsea star Reece James.
The Blues captain earned a red card for two yellows in a 4-1 loss to the Magpies on Saturday.
Despite being impressive before the international break, Chelsea were brought crashing down to earth on Saturday.
Speaking on Match of the Day, Shearer said: "[Reece James] has been made captain [of Chelsea] and he had a really tough day. Gordon gave him a really tough afternoon, [Reece James] couldn't keep up with him.
"Then he gets the two yellow cards. We have all done silly things on a football pitch, it is fine, you have got to accept that.
"But when you are captain you just can't do that, you can't kick the ball away like that [after Newcastle awarded a free-kick]; not when you are in that position, not when you are away from home. He gets his first yellow card there [for kicking the ball away], then he gives the ball away and you know he [Reece James] is going to bring Gordon down, gets his arms around him, brings him down, another yellow card, therefore the red card."
