Chelsea defender Marcos Alonso has called out the Premier League after they brushed over his double against Tottenham at Wembley in 2017.
Alonso scored a late winner at the national stadium after Michy Batshuayi's own goal had cancelled out the Spaniard's opener as the Blues sealed a 2-1 victory over their London rivals at the beginning of the 2017-18 campaign.
It was the last time a Chelsea defender had netted a double before Antonio Rudiger's brace helped Chelsea rescue a draw at Leicester on Saturday afternoon.
However, the Premier League's official Twitter account missed Alonso's double as they combed through the history books.
In a post about Rudiger's brace, the Premier League said: "The first defender to score a Premier League brace for Chelsea since John Terry in April 2013."
Fans speculated that the Premier League had intended to tweet 'central defender' as Alonso, who also scored a double against Leicester in January 2017, featured regularly as an attacking full-back.
The Spaniard quoted the tweet, simply adding: "# Sackedinthemorning."

They should have said the first centre back to score 2 goals after John Terry rather than defender. Wing backs are also considered as defenders 🤷🏻♂️

What do you mean by attacking full back? He's a defender and so is Rudiger, or have you seen him as a Chelsea striker in our formation before
