Steve Bruce has no problem with Mike Dean refereeing Aston Villa's FA Cup clash against Tottenham

Steve Bruce insists he has no problem with troubled ref Mike Dean being put in charge of Aston Villa's televised FA Cup tie at Tottenham on Sunday.

Dean has been at the centre of a series of rows for wrongly sending off West Ham's Sofiane Feghouli a few days after failing to give a red card to Spurs' Dele Alli for a horror tackle on Liverpool's Jordan Henderson.

And Aston Villa's fans have posted a YouTube video in which Dean's advantage signal makes him looks like he was celebrating a Spurs goal against the club last year.
