West Ham United midfielder Tomas Soucek has taken to Twitter to react to news of referee Mike Dean getting death threats following Saturday’s game.
The Czech Republic international was sent off for an accidental elbow on Fulham striker on Aleksandar Mitrovic in the closing minutes of the goalless draw despite Dean consulting the pitchside monitor.
The error has since been rectified, though, with the red card overturned after an independent panel decided that Dean was not technically right to make his decision.
The ref has asked not to officiate a Premier League game this weekend after receiving online abuse and death threats as a result of his decision to send the West Ham star off.
