Mike Dean being his usual balanced and sensible self when it comes to Arsenal.
If there is one referee that Arsenal fans do not hold in high esteem it is Mike Dean, for some reason he does seem to have an issue with Arsenal.
It was always expected that Dean would do something to wind up us Gooners and he did not disappoint tonight. The Merseyside born official decided that Matteo Guendouzi putting the ball down in an exaggerated manner was worthy of a yellow card.
Think I am making it up? Just watch this video courtesy of BT Sport Football Twitter account.
A yellow card for sarcasm? 🤔

I don’t like Dean either but come on, Guendouzi was being very petulant and the booking wasn’t just for the ball placing incident in isolation, he was moaning non stop in the refs face prior to that. Let’s not forget he was recently disciplined by Arteta for similar antics in training.
Dean is an absolute dick and the yellow was totally Dean and explains why people rate him so poorly when you see what he let and lets go when it suits him.
