“The man who should shoot the penalty is Mitrovic, and Kamara did not respect me, the club, the team-mates, the crowd, anybody,” said Ranieri.
“He take the ball and want to shoot the ball, it is unbelievable. I want to kill him.”

No manager has won more promotions to the Premier League than Villa's Steve Bruce, whose team is littered with players who have experience at the highest level, including former Chelsea and England defender John Terry.
