De Zerbi: I Don’t Like 80 Per Cent of EPL Referees

Brighton manager, Roberto De Zerbi, has said he does not like 80 per cent of the referees in the Premier League.

De Zerbi was reacting to their 1-1 draw with Sheffield United on Sunday.

His comments come a week after Arsenal boss described the decision to allow Newcastle’s winner against them stand as “embarrassing” and a “disgrace”.

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.”
