Anthony Taylor is reportedly set to miss out on officiating the Euro 2024 final amid a storm of thousands of fans calling for his name to be struck from UEFA's refereeing list and for Germany's quarter-final defeat to be replayed.

The Premier League referee drew the ire of Germany fans after he turned down calls for handball against Chelsea’s Marc Cucurella in their quarter-final defeat last Friday. Spain won the tie 2-1 in extra time.

More than 32,000 outraged supporters have signed a petition calling for him to be reprimanded for the decision and for the match to be replayed.
