'Everyone thinks “oh you must get loads of grief” but I don’t really because I’m so concentrated': Sian Massey-Ellis plays down the abuse she has suffered as an official in aftermath of Sergio Aguero incident and insists being as 'fit and fast' as Premier

Premier League assistant referee Sian Massey-Ellis insists her concentration during matches is so high that she is able to blur out any abuse from supporters and also insisted he has never felt intimidated.

The assistant referee was in the spotlight at the weekend after an incident involving Sergio Aguero. The Manchester City striker put his hand on her shoulder after he disagreed with a decision.

Aguero will not face any retrospective punishment for his actions but was criticised by Match of the Day pundits Ian Wright and Alan Shearer as well as Sky Sports' Gary Neville - who called on the Argentine to apologise.
