Football fans slam Anthony Taylor for awarding controversial penalty during Preston's clash with Coventry... with some claiming the under pressure referee should be officiating in League One

Football fans have slammed under pressure referee Anthony Taylor for his performance during Preston North End's clash with Coventry City.

Taylor, 45, has made the headlines yet again for the wrong reasons after he awarded Preston a penalty in their Championship showdown with the Sky Blues.

He was demoted to the Championship for the first time in four years after awarding Newcastle a controversial penalty against Wolves back in October.

Taylor came under fire from a range of different voices after handing the visitors the penalty at Molineux, which allowed Newcastle to go ahead in the first-half.
