After watching Aston Villa’s Tyrone Mings stamping on the face of Reading’s Nelson Oliveira, football fans gave their reaction to the shocking injury with the majority of those calling for him to receive a banning…
Hopefully a long ban coming for stamping. #readingfc

Hopefully a nice ban coming your way. Awfully sorry x

It's an accident, he says, as he looks down to make sure he stamps precisely where Oliveira's face is, with a frankly unnerving degree of accuracy. Shouldnty have stayed on the pitch! Got to be at least five games banned now though. Just argue you don't have previo- oh no hang on

It's like Zlatan all over again.

Watching video Mings looks off balance and falling forward. Natural reaction to this is put your foot out in front of you to regain balance. Mings next step is beneath him if not slightly behind. I would say he may well have done this intentionally.

The huge amount of reaction continued on Twitter, some however defended Mings…
In slow mo things always look different and challenges worse or delibrate, he is running then jumps off balance and lands down his foot on the player, can't see he meant to stamd on face of a player

Well by that logic it’s obvious Reading fans are going to accuse Mings of doing it intentionally. It’s also bloody obvious only one person knows the truth either way, it’s impossible to tell from the video.

As a complete neutral i have just watched it several times my thoughts are it was intentional

Roll the rest of the footage where mings signals to the medics and gets the game stopped. But don’t let that get in the way of a few likes. Wasn’t intentional, clearly unbalanced, foots gotta land somewhere. You know because of that gravity thing.

Mings was the first player to react he immediately signalled the ref. where can he put his foot? he's off balance & has a split second to react bloke cant levitate & at 6'5 hes not gonna be the most agile hope hes ok but it's a nothing incident

If Nelson stays on his feet instead of collapsing his own legs his face doesn’t get put in a position where it can become mashed potato
