The Swede was lucky not receive his marching orders
Controversy erupted during the 50th minute of today’s game between Everton and Manchester United at Goodison Park.
Coleman, who had just dispossessed Ibrahimovic, was hauled to the ground cynically by the Swedish star – what happened next definitely warranted the issue of a red card.
As Ibrahimovic fell on top of the defender, Ibrahimovic appears to lash out with his left foot, striking Coleman directly in the face.
Check it out in the images below.
The reaction on twitter was firmly against the United forward.
That's horrible from Ibrahimovic, deliberately rolls over Coleman and kicks him in the head, no card. Michael Oliver is a joke

Though some people clearly thought Coleman was in the wrong.
