They strongly argued it was accidental and not even a foul in the Ibrahimovitch incident, and he still copped for a 5 game ban.
Aston Villa Star Apologies After 'Stamp' Leaves Reading Forward With Gruesome Facial InjuryChris Knight - 08:52, 03 Feb 2019Tyrone Mings made his first start for Aston Villa after signing on loan from Bournemouth and the defender certainly left his mark against Reading on Saturday!The 25-year-old was immense during the course of a 0-0 draw as Villa kept a clean sheet for only the sixth time this season, although it was a result that did little for Villa's hopes of pushing for promotion from the Championship. Mings was superb but he caused a bit of controversy at the Madejski Stadium!Mings was involved in a clash with Nelson Oliveira that resulted in the Reading forward suffering a nasty head injury and blood pouring down his face.The pair stumbled and Mings seemed to tread on the face of Oliveira, completely by accident it must be said, and it was an injury that ended the afternoon for the Royals striker as he was duly substituted.Full credit to Mings as he immediately went to check on the player to ensure he was okay and he then reacted to the game on social media after the final whistle.Mings tweeted: Absolutely loved wearing the claret and blue today and over the moon with the clean sheet! @AVFCOfficial. Feel awfully sorry to Oliveira, I hope he is ok.An image of Oliveira's gruesome injury then surfaced after the game as the 27-year-old could be seen with a huge gash on his forehead and across his nose - you can see the image below but be warned that it is graphic.It isn't the first time that Mings has been involved in a 'stamping' incident as he was banned for five games in March 2017 for allegedly stamping on Zlatan Ibrahimovic when Bournemouth played Manchester United.You can see the latest incident involving Mings in the Twitter video at the end of this article.
What gets me mad is headlines that sensationalise and bear no resemblance to the facts in the story - this one uses the word stamp which implies a deliberate act whereas the journo stresses in the article that it seemed to be completely accidental. But of course the damage is done then to the player’s reputation by the headline.
Amazed at what's being made of yesterday. I know he has previous with Zlatan but I thought yesterday was just an accidential kick to the face? Not nice for the Reading player but it happens in every game.
