ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC faces a retrospective ban for elbowing Tyrone Mings – after the Bournemouth defender appeared to STAMP on his head.

Later, when Ibrahimovic went down after being caught by Wayne Rooney, Mings landed a boot on the top of the striker's head as he backtracked.
Then, seconds later, with the ball swung into the box, Ibrahimovic swung an elbow into Mings' face.
Jamie Carragher felt certain Ibrahimovic was going to be sent off by referee Kevin Friend and said the official "bottled it" by not showing him a red.
