Mike Dean slammed for 'arrogance' and 'rank-bad refereeing' by pundits Niall Quinn and Alan Smith after sending off Sofiane Feghouli

Referee Mike Dean has been branded 'arrogant' with a determination to make himself 'the centre of attention', following his straight red card dismissal of West Ham's Sofiane Feghouli.

Dean went to his pocket to brandish red to the Hammers man for his challenge on Manchester United's Phil Jones at the London stadium, much to the anger of Sky Sports pundits Niall Quinn and Alan Smith.

Dean has built up something of a notorious reputation among Premier League referees for consistently appearing to be involved in the biggest and most controversial match day decisions.
