Keith Hackett urges 'hapless double act' Mike Dean and Lee Mason to 'STEP DOWN' after yet another high-profile error for sending off Tomas Soucek at Fulham... as he insists he was 'shocked two experienced referees could make such a bad decision'

Former referee Keith Hackett has slammed 'hapless double act' Mike Dean and Lee Mason for making yet another high-profile error in the Premier League at Craven Cottage, claiming the pair should 'step down' from their roles.

Dean and Mason grabbed plenty of headlines again on Saturday after West Ham's Tomas Soucek was controversially sent off at Fulham in the closing stages after elbowing Aleksandar Mitrovic.

After consulting Mason, who was on VAR duty, Dean sent Soucek off following numerous checks of his pitchside monitor but West Ham have since won their appeal and the red card has been overturned.
