Swansea City’s Ashley Williams rocketed a ball off Manchester United star Robin van Persie’s head earlier today. Depending on who you believe, he could soon be prosecuted for attempted murder.

"The Van Persie situation you can clearly see that he could have been killed," United manager Sir Alex Ferguson said on Sky Sports News.

"The FA has got to look into it regardless that he has been given a yellow card. He should be banned for a long time because that was the most dangerous thing I've seen on a football field for many years.

"It was absolutely deliberate. The whistle has gone, the game has stopped and he has done that right in front of the referee, he could have killed the lad.

"It was a disgraceful act by the player, he should banned for a long time."

Williams said he was simply trying to clear the ball and it’s all a big understanding.

One thing is clear: watching this GIF over and over is pretty damn enjoyable.
