Crystal Palace decided to “congratulate” the player by handing him and his team a defeat.
On Wednesday, October 30, Aston Villa and Crystal Palace met in the 1/8 finals of the League Cup.
It was a match in which Villan captain Tyrone Mings played for the first time in 445 days, reports The Athletic.
The centre-back has been out for more than a year after rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament in last season’s opening game against Newcastle.
But the captain’s return did not help Unai Emery’s team advance to the next round – the Champions League participant lost with a score of 1:2.
Mings played the full 90 minutes, receiving a yellow card at the very end of the match.
Tyrone Mings has been with Aston Villa since the summer of 2019, when he moved from Bournemouth for 22.3 million euros.
Since then, the 31-year-old Englishman has played in 166 Lions matches, scoring 8 goals and 9 assists.
We remind you that Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez was recognized as the Best Goalkeeper of the Year according to France Football.
