West Ham United were beaten 2-0 by Manchester United yesterday.
Gary Lineker has joined the list of people criticising Mike Dean, after he sent off West Ham United’s Sofiane Feghouli against Manchester United yesterday.
Feghouli was given his marching orders early on in the contest, when he dived into a tackle with Phil Jones.
Although the ball appeared there to be won, Dean deemed that Feghouli had gone over the top of the ball with excessive force and produced a red card.
The decision was widely ridiculed after the match, and Lineker was left in disbelief by Dean’s officiating.
West Ham were forced to put men behind the ball after going down to 10, and always faced an uphill challenge after that.
Although the Hammers held on for a long time, they were unable to stop United picking up the three points.
The Red Devils took the lead when Juan Mata fired home, before Zlatan Ibrahimovic added a second.
West Ham are now in 13th place in the Premier League table, while United are in sixth spot.
