- Scott seemed to be struck with a elbow at the start of the match before being enhanced
- His manager suggested that his opponent should have been shown in red card
- Listen now: everything is launched! Is Arsenal even close to achieving great things?
Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola said that Aston Villa star should have been sent during an altercation that left one of his players with a possible broken jaw.
The European Hopes of the Cherries took a major success on Saturday evening while they lost 1-0 at home against Villa, which helped their offer to finish in the qualification spots of the Champions League.
Ollie Watkins scored the only goal in the match, while Jacob Ramsey de Villa was shown a red box for two yellow card offenses late in the match, ensuring that Villa ended the match with 10 men.
Some estimated that visitors should have fallen at 10 years much earlier, however, when Tyrone Mings seemed to the Alex Scott elbow in his jaw at the start of the game.
The incident appeared accidental, but saw Scott hit the bridge and receive treatment on the ground. He returned and played the rest of the half-time, but was replaced at halftime because he could not continue.
And the boss of Cherries Iraola challenged the decision not to send Mings, to mark the “dangerous” incident and to jump to the defense of his player.

The boss of the Cherries said that the challenge was “very dangerous” and that Mings should have received his walking orders
“Yeah, for me. I think that if Alex plays with his jaw – I don’t know if she is broken or not broken ”, told Iraola to Sky Sports when he asked if Mings should have been shown a red card. “He went down twice (leaving us) with 10 players.
“We did not know if he would continue or not. He finished the first half, but you could see right away, he was not … he was not well, I think.
“This is a very dangerous challenge. Very dangerous. I think, on the other side, I think that the second yellow of Ramsey, for me, is not a yellow card. But obviously, the value of a red card in the 80th minute with the value of a red card in the sixth minute is very different. But I think that overall, in these little things, they have contributed better than us.
Replays seemed to show the elbow of Mings connecting with the Scott jaw, leaving the midfield on the field before being consoled by the defender of the villa in the recovery.
It was a match that saw the referee Stuart Attwell emit a number of yellow cards when fans of the house had become frustrated, but Mings was a player who escared without any punishment. And rightly, according to Jamie Redknapp.
“I don’t think this is the case (a red card),” said Redknapp on Sky Sports Punditry. “I always admire what Andoni says. He understands the game very well. Sometimes it’s your emotions.
“I think he just gets his arm up there. Obviously, there is a huge difference in height with Scott and Tyrone. I think he just removes his arm. I don’t think he necessarily swings his elbow, he turns it off.
“You need to use your arms to create a little lever effect, to create space. I don’t think that’s it. If it could have been a yellow card, I don’t think it’s a red card. I don’t think he is malicious. I just think that is one of these actions.
