Southampton want two referees BANNED from taking charge of their games after FOUR controversial calls went against them in two games... but are the Saints right in saying the handball, offside and red card VAR verdicts against them were unjust?

Southampton have made the sensational request that neither Lee Mason nor Mike Dean referee any of their matches in the near future.

The Saints are fuming after a series of decisions went against them in their losses to Aston Villa and Manchester United over the last four days.

And they feel the controversy surrounding the calls will make it hard for the two officials to take charge of upcoming games. The club is set to talk to referees' body PGMOL to discuss the situation.

But are they justified in their grievance?
