ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC was sent off for slapping an opponent in LA Galaxy’s clash with Montreal Impact.
QPR reject Michael Petrasso appeared to accidentally step on Ibra‘s foot in an off-the-ball incident during the first half of their MLS clash.
And the Swedish striker reacted furiously by lashing out at the Canadian winger and getting his marching orders following a video review.
Both players fell to the floor with embarrassingly delayed reactions after the incident during Galaxy’s 1-0 win at the Saputo Stadium.
Petrasso, who had loan spells at Oldham, Coventry, Leyton Orient and Notts County, hit the deck after some consideration.
Realising his own predicament, 36-year-old Ibra then went down with him clutching his foot before the ref watched replays to sort out the incident.
