This Mitrovic elbowing Lanzini (GIF VIDEO BELOW) was a controversial moment in Newcastle’s home clash against West Ham on 26 August, 2017. Mitrovic’s elbow on Manuel Lanzini went unpunished by referee Neil Swarbrick, while West Ham’s Arnautovic was sent off for something similar last week against Southampton
To add insult to injury for the Hammers, this would’ve probably been a sending off for Mitrovic, and he ended up scoring Newcastle’s third goal in this game

Mitrovic’s known for having a bit of a temper, doesn’t he?
Wouldn’t have changed the result though, West Ham were piss poor today.
No doubt Mitrovic did it on purpose knowing if he got a ban Newcastle wouldn’t be able to get rid of him in this window
