Tyrone Mings has come under fire for a bizarre incident that saw a penalty go against Aston Villa in the Champions League.The Villans had travelled to the Jan Breydel Stadium in Belgium to take on Club Brugge in their latest European challenge but struggled to get off to a positive start. After an uneventful first half, Villa went a goal down shortly after the restart after Mings gifted the Belgian side a golden opportunity.
The defender, who had hoped for a solid performance to mark his Champions League debut, left fans and professionals alike scratching their heads after a ‘brain freeze’ moment inside his own box. After Emi Martínez took a short goal-kick to Mings, the 31-year-old picked the ball up and gave it back to the goalkeeper.
