Watch Yaya Toure give Eden Hazard a playful halftime slap around

Before Frank Lampard scored the goal that will probably haunt him for the rest of his life, Chelsea and Man City were playing a hard-fought match — the physicality of which apparently carried over into the tunnel at halftime.

As the two teams made their way back to the pitch for the second half, Man City's Yaya Toure came up behind an unsuspecting Eden Hazard and started slapping him around in a way that seemed to cause the much smaller Belgian to say something to the effect of "Come on, quit it! I'm telling mom!"

The randomness of this playfulness in the midst of the other players getting themselves hyped for an important and tense 45 minutes of football is what makes it so enjoyable. Also, the look of "Oh my god, what is happening right now" confusion on James Milner's face as he seems to be the only person to notice them.

There was nothing malicious about this, though. Hazard and Toure are apparently good friends. Here they are hugging it out after the 2013 FA Cup semifinal...
