Premier League referee Mike Deam sent Twitter into meltdown after his decision-making in the final minutes of the Bournemouth versus Manchester City game. The referee not only added on five minutes of injury time which ran into ten minutes. He also showed Raheem Sterling a second yellow card after he put City in the lead and went to celebrate with fans.
Even some former footballers were unhappy with the job he did:
Can't celebrate a goal now. Absolute joke sending @sterling7 off. Have 2 say now Im not playing but mike dean is the worst. #arragant

Don't give me 'it's the law' nonsense. Mike Dean has clearly never experienced scoring the winning goal! #BOUMCI

Here are some of the best reactions:
Mike Dean: "Don't make yourself the centre of the attention for another game again."

I get that it's the laws of the game, but it's also Mike Dean. Somehow, someway, the guy always manages to make it about him.

You just know Mike Dean has gone into his dressing room, looked in the mirror and winked at himself.

"You done good Mikey. You done good."
It's all about Mike Dean. It's always about Mike Dean.
