# Aston Villa: Fans fume at Tyrone Mings

**Many Aston Villa fans are furious with Tyrone Mings as he got sent off in the first half of the win against Crystal Palace.**

The defender got an unnecessary yellow card for a scrap with Wilfried Zaha ([SofaScore](https://www.sofascore.com/crystal-palace-aston-villa/hP)). Six minutes later, he received his marching orders as he fouled Zaha to stop a counter attack.

The Villa fan base are not annoyed with the referee, but rather with their own player, who is meant to be the experienced leader in the side, not a loose cannon. One fan called him a ‘liability’.

Villa were 1-0 up ([SofaScore](https://www.sofascore.com/crystal-palace-aston-villa/hP)) when Mings was shown red and the Villains looked comfortable, so while it didn’t come back to haunt Dean Smith’s side, it was certainly foolish.

It is a bigger issue around the Christmas period too, as games come thick and fast and Villa will now not have Mings in two days when they face Chelsea on Monday night.

### Here is what Villa fans said about Mings:

**“Can’t wait for Konsa to get back to full fitness. Mings is an absolutely liability. Probably should have had a straight red for the first one. Livid. #avfc”**

**“I’ve lost my tether with mings. I’m glad he’s been sent off. Means he won’t be in the team going forward which is a blessing! #AVFC”**

**“Don’t agree with the first yellow at all, but that was daft from Mings when on a booking. Can’t believe Zaha got him rattled”**
