'They all want the celebrity status, don't they': Neil Warnock unleashes furious rant at referee Gavin Ward after controversial 2-1 defeat against Swansea

Middlesbrough manager Neil Warnock has unleashed a furious tirade at referee Gavin Ward after several contentious calls in a 2-1 defeat against Swansea on Saturday.

After Andre Ayew's deflected opener, Boro's Marc Bola was unfortunate to have a goal ruled out, with team-mate Yannick Bolasie penalised for an apparent foul on Jay Fulton despite the Swans midfielder making contact with him first.

Visiting midfielder Sam Morsy equalised in the 91st minute, but seven minutes into stoppage time, Swansea were given a penalty although George Saville appeared to get the ball in a sliding challenge with home defender Jake Bidwell.
