Reading tweeted that Oliveira had facial surgery the next day. It's an absolutely disgusting stamp. Mings knew exactly what he was doing too. He looks down before planting his foot and he doesn't react like it's a mistake at all. It's not the first time he makes sure to catch someone in the face either. This is the same guy who did this against Zlatan two seasons back:
That's without question deliberate....
.....but was the elbow earlier (at the end of the clip) almost as certainly deliberate? It gets shrouded here because it's more of a "football action" but it was nasty too.
Anywhoo, not trying to dismiss Ting's stamp, just feel the elbow could have as easily results in a broken cheek and we'd be criticizing Oliviera right now.
