Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl charged by the FA over post-match comments about Mike Dean following dismissal of Saints captain James Ward-Prowse in defeat at Chelsea

Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl has been charged by the Football Association over his comments about video assistant referee Mike Dean following his side's defeat at Chelsea.

Hasenhuttl was unhappy about the sending-off of James Ward-Prowse during the 3-1 defeat on October 2.

The midfielder was initially shown a yellow card by referee Martin Atkinson for a late tackle on Jorginho, but it was upgraded to red after Dean told his colleague to review the incident on the pitchside monitor.

The sending off irked Hasenhuttl, who sarcastically suggested he knew the outcome of the review would be a red card as Dean was the VAR official for the game.
