Zlatan Ibrahimovic sent off for LA Galaxy

LA Galaxy striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic was sent off against Montreal Impact on Monday night.

Ibrahimovic was sent off after giving an opponent a clip round the ear.

The former Manchester United striker was given his marching orders in the 41st minute after an altercation with Michael Petrasso, which appeared to be prompted by the former QPR winger stepping on Ibrahimovic's foot.

While the action appeared accidental, Swedish striker Ibrahimovic took exception to it and offered a firm palm round the ear.

The Galaxy won 1-0 on the night.
