Hardy David Meyler Unbowed Despite This Fairly Nasty Looking Eye Injury

David Meyler has been praised on twitter for refusing to let the trifling matter of a kick in the face stop him from playing on. His face collided with Laurent Koscielney's boot and as with most face-boot collisions, the owner of the face in question ended up worse off.

Here's the close up of the aftermath.

I hope when people suggest all footballers are soft and throw themselves to the ground they see David Meyler's eye. That's a reit shiner

He was subsequently replaced by Steve Bruce at half-time. Hull went onto lose 3-1 to Arsenal.
