‘Mike Dean Guessed Feghouli Red And Got It Wrong’- Former Referee Reveals Referee Mike Dean guessed the decision to send off Sofiane Feghouli against Manchester United, according to former official Mark Halsey. Feghouli was given a straight red card after just 15 minutes at the London Stadium after he arrived later than Phil Jones in a crunching 50-50 challenge. Dean opted to dismiss the Algeria international and United went on to beat West Ham 2-0 thanks to second-half goals from Juan Mata and Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Hammers boss Slaven Bilic accused Jones of “making a meal” of the incident in order to influence the decision, and Halsey – who retired in 2013 after 14 years of officiating in the top flight in England – believes Dean was affected by the centre-back’s reaction and his failure to send off Everton’s Ross Barkley for a crude challenge in the Merseyside derby last month. “Because he missed the Barkley challenge, I think it’s at the back of his mind,” Halsey told talkSPO

Derby County Agree To Sell Lee Grant To Stoke City Permanently Derby County have accepted a bid of £1.5m rising to £2m with add ons, for goalkeeper Lee Grant. Lee Grant has also now agreed personal terms with Stoke. Lee Grant has been on loan at Stoke since the end of August, and has been outstanding in goal, deputising for the injured Jack Butland. That loan deal expires after Stoke’s home game with Watford tomorrow night, and his permanent deal will be officially confirmed in the next 48 hours. It caps a startling rise for the man who turns 34 later this month. He didn’t make a single appearance for Derby this season in the Championship, before being called on to become Stoke’s first choice in the Premier League. I’ll be honest, probably leading up to the Liverpool game I was giving up hope of a deal going through,” he told the Sentinel. “It was frustrating because myself and Stoke had made it clear that we wanted it doing but obviously there are three parties involved in the

West Ham Vs Man Utd Referee Mike Dean is finished – Twitter rounds on hapless referee ( See Tweets) A series of curious decisions meant the whistleblower stole the spotlight on Monday, with the social network giving a typically withering assessment of his officiating Who would be a referee? It is the one job in football that makes even goalkeepers grateful they chose to don the gloves over the whistle. Mike Dean knows more than most that officiating is a thankless job as he endured a tough evening during Manchester United’s clash with West Ham United on Monday. The official made a rather indifferent start to 2017 with some extremely questionable decisions that led to claims he was rather over-zealous in some of his calls. And, as always, Twitter’s judges, jury and executioners were on hand to pass their own, rather critical evaluation of the whistle-blower’s performance.

Premier League!! West Ham 0-2 Manchester United (RESULT) Manchester United moved level on points with fifth-placed Tottenham after victory at West Ham, who played for 75 minutes with 10 men following the controversial dismissal of Sofiane Feghouli. Referee Mike Dean showed Feghouli a straight red card after the midfielder’s 15th-minute challenge on Phil Jones. Replays showed it was more of a coming together between two players committed to winning the ball than a reckless challenge meant to cause harm. Antonio Valencia was guilty of an astonishing miss for the visitors before substitute Juan Mata scored from 10 yards after Marcus Rashford’s clever pass. Zlatan Ibrahimovic was one of three players offside when he doubled the lead after Pedro Obiang’s clearance fell to Ander Herrera. It was Jose Mourinho’s side’s sixth straight Premier League win and their seventh in all competitions. The post Premier League!! West Ham 0-2 Manchester United (RESULT) appeared first on Naijaloaded

“I Wanted To Leave Chelsea FC Last Summer” – Diego Costa Says Chelsea FC striker Diego Costa says he had wanted to leave the English Premier League club last summer. Costa had joined the Blues for £32 million in 2014, and was understood to be close to a return to former club Atletico Madrid after a difficult 2015-16 campaign. The Spain international has since then scored 14 Premier League goals, as Chelsea have now taken an eight-point lead courtesy of 13 successive victories. “Did I want to go? Yes, yes, I was about to leave. But not because of Chelsea,” said the 28-year-old. “There was one thing I wanted to change for family reasons but it wasn’t to be, and I continue to be happy here,” he added. Costa scored 20 goals in his first season in England, as Chelsea won the Premier League title under Jose Mourinho. But he had netted only four more by the time Mourinho was sacked in December 2015, finishing the season with 12 before being heavily linked with a move. Brazil-born Cost

Premier League!! Liverpool Fail To Close Gap At The Top After 2-2 Draw Against Sunderland (Read) Liverpool missed the chance to close the gap on Premier League leaders Chelsea as they were held to a thrilling 2-2 draw at Sunderland. Daniel Sturridge headed only his second Premier League goal of the season to hand the Merseysiders the lead on 19 minutes, but they were pegged back within six minutes as Jermain Defoe converted a penalty after Ragnar Klavan’s foul on Didier Ndong.

Pep Guardiola called for Aguero and Silva at half-time and he got a response from City, who took the lead thanks to a rare Gael Clichy goal in the 58th minute.
