Barely a week after Arsenal boss, Mike Arteta described the decision of a referee to allow Newcastle’s winner against them stand as “embarrassing” and a “disgrace, ”Brighton manager, Roberto De Zerbi, has disclosed that he does not like 80 per cent of the referees in the English Premier League(EPL).
De Zerbi was reacting to their 1-1 draw with Sheffield United on Sunday.
Brighton’s Mahmoud Dahoud was shown a straight red card for an ugly tackle on Sheffield’s Ben Osborn.
De Zerbi admitted Dahoud deserved his punishment, but cut an animated figure throughout the game and earned a yellow card.
After the match, he said: “I am honest and clear. I don’t like 80 per cent of England’s referees.”
