There was a strange moment during Aston Villa’s clash with West Ham in the Premier League.
Tyrone Mings and Anwar El Ghazi appeared to clash after the latter had failed to track a run from deep, leading to a cross.

READ ASTON VILLA VERDICT
It was, putting it simply, an odd moment. El Ghazi failed to track the run of Mark Noble, which happens from time to time, but Mings seemed to take considerable offence by the lack of defensive awareness from the winger.
However, regardless of what Mings may or may not have said, El Ghazi should never, ever, be leaning his head in towards him and aiming an apparent headbutt at his teammate.
Shouting at each other and arguing over incidents on the pitch is fine, but it seemed over the top and needless from El Ghazi’s point of view.
