Mike Dean Becomes The First Referee In Premier League History To Show 100 Red Cards

Mike Dean has become the first referee in history to show 100 red cards in the Premier League.

The celebrity referee brought up his century of red cards after sending off Ashley Young for two bookable offences.

The Manchester United skipper was sent off for a reckless challenge on Wolves' Diogo Jota in the second-half.

To be honest, we can't believe Dean didn't brandish the red card in audacious fashion or celebrate his 100th red card with a message underneath his shirt. Imagine the scenes. Missed out, Mike.

Nonetheless, his record-breaking feat got everybody talking on social media. Here's some of the best reaction:

Dean is back in action on Saturday. He drops down a division to referee a Championship fixture between Leeds United and Birmingham City.
