The duo were involved in a bust-up during the 1-1 draw between the two sides. Mings had landed on Ibrahimovic’s head with his studs. Moments later, Ibrahimovic caught Mings in the face with his elbow from the corner.
Mings was also charged with violent conduct by the FA. Bournemouth have reportedly said they will appeal the charge levelled against the defender.
