Agreed, and it left Alex Scott with a broken jaw to make matters worse.

By chance i have just seen it this very minute
if you have a along memory he has form let's say "stuff like that" much earlier in has career from memory as requested by FAL :thumbdown:  I will leave it at that and  not research the evidence.  Perhaps someone else can remember the incident(s) ?

Zlatan Ibrahimovic Elbow, Tyrone Mings Stamp Discussed by Ex-Referee Graham Poll
Christopher Simpson
Jun 5, 2018

Former Premier League referee Graham Poll believes both Tyrone Mings' stamp on Zlatan Ibrahimovic and the Swede's subsequent elbow of the Bournemouth defender were deliberate, describing the latter as "inconceivable" that it could have been accidental.

During Manchester United's fiery 1-1 draw with the Cherries on Saturday, Mings appeared to stamp on the striker's head, and minutes later, Ibrahimovic caught Mings in the face with an elbow as they tussled for a corner, but both escaped punishment during the match.

Poll wrote in his column for the Daily Mail that Mings did not attempt to avoid Ibrahimovic while jumping over him: "Mings looks at Ibrahimovic on the ground so he knows where he is. His foot then comes down hard, and Mings does not appear shocked when he makes contact. I believe it was a deliberate stamp."

update

Mings got a five match ban for the stamp Ibram got 3 matches

I don’t think it was a red. I thought Jackson’s today was the correct decision.

He's totally aware of the other player's approach and he's stuck out an elbow.

Not in the Chis Morgan category, certainly. But compare that to the sending off of Tommy Rowe for a high boot a couple of years ago.
