I also thought he ran out at pace and quite late had one of those "oh sh1t" moments where he knew he was beaten to the ball.
I honestly think some of the recent two footed tackles we've seen have had more intent. Hunt's tackle this season was a disgrace (vs City?) yet the one he'll be remembered for was the Cech tackle because of its consequences, even though it lacked intent.
I'm very much open to correction :)
