Micky Hazard has raged at referee Craig Pawson for his officiating during Tottenham’s 2-1 win against Fulham on Sunday afternoon at Craven Cottage.

The senior man on the field came under huge criticism from Hazard, who felt he shouldn’t have booked Davison Sanchez and Danny Rose during the game.

Centre-back Sanchez was involved in an incident with Aleksandar Mitrovic in the second half after the Fulham striker had pulled him down following a challenge.

Later on in the half, Pawson put Rose’s name in the book after he wrongly accused him of diving when he was actually fouled by Cyrus Christie.

Here is Hazard offering his thoughts on Pawson’s performance as posted on his personal Twitter account:

Both Rose and Sanchez put in respectable performances, with the latter involved in a number of physical tussles with Mitrovic throughout the match.

During the game, Toby Alderweireld was booked, along with his Spurs teammates, whilst Mitrovic also saw yellow for his part in the Sanchez incident, with Jean Michael Seri joining him in the book.

Nonetheless, striker Fernando Llorente, who replaced the injured Harry Kane in the starting XI, scored an own goal in the first half to give Claudio Ranieri’s side the lead.

But the away team levelled the scores through Dele Alli after the break before midfielder Harry Winks scored an injury-time winner to secure all three points for his side.
