Viewers fume at Mike Dean as Fernandinho aims studs at Mason Mount’s face

Viewers fume at referee Mike Dean as Fernandinho aims the studs of his boots at Mason Mount’s face in Saturday’s FA Cup clash.

The Manchester City player bizarrely escaped any kind punishment for appearing to aim his studs at Mason Mount’s head in the FA Cup semi-final.

The Manchester City midfielder was done by Mount’s sharp turn and knocked the England man to the ground with his arm outstretched.

The 35-year-old then appeared to try and hurdle over Mount with his right boot appearing to catch his opponent’s eye.

Mount could clearly be seen mouthing that he had been caught on the face but referee Mike Dean did not produce a card.

On BBC Sport at half-time, Gary Lineker said: “There was an element of a stamp on Mount.

“It looks like he’s actually tried to avoid stamping on him as much as anything.”

Alan Shearer added: “You can see him just try to pull his foot out of the way, I think he thinks about it for a split second… he just does enough to pull his foot out of the way.

“So no, there’s nothing in it.”

Former Premier League left-back Ashley Cole agreed and said: “It could have been totally worse.

“I don’t think Mason is touched. Or at least touched hard enough.

“It’s one of these things, you’re playing in a semi-final, tempers will flare up.”

As mentioned, viewers fume at Mike Dean as Fernandinho aims his studs at Mason Mount’s face…

@CFCDaily: Worst part about it is Tuchel or nobody can even question Mike Dean. You’ll either get a yellow or sent to the stands given he makes it all about him.

@siphillipssport: Fernandinho makes 2 CLEAR yellow card tackles, doesn’t get booked. Reece James wins the ball, gets booked. Mike Dean ladies and gentlemen, fraud.

@AlexGoldberg_: Nah Mike Dean is AWFUL

@LDNFootbalI: Fernandinho stands on Mount’s face and takes Mount out on the counter = no cards. Reece James commits 1 foul = yellow card. Mike Dean is a disgrace.

@CFCDUBois: Mike Dean is wearing a City top and is literally bald we cannot win here

@CFCMod_: I hate Mike Dean with passion.

@matissearmani: Mike Dean you clapped clown. Reece James gets the ball and gets booked but Fernandinho is still walking the streets freely

@ftblShush: Mike Dean saw Fernandinho’s bald head glistening so decided to help his hairless brother out. Stop this fraud

@ChelseaFCBlogs_: Mike Dean is having another howler. Why am I not surprised? 😡

@stefan_hodge: Of course it won’t get checked, it’s Mike Dean….

@scarfacecfc: Mike dean making calls in favour of his bald friends, fernandinho and pep

@Kh29Cfc: The worst part is that I know if Mount screamed, cried and rolled around like Son, it would’ve been checked by VAR. PL refs make people dive man

@HavertzHive: And how was his other challenge on Mount not a yellow but Reece’s was lol

@PartedBeard: Mike Dean just showed us how referees are ruining the game. Fernandinho escapes getting a yellow card because Mount did not go down after his ankle was clipped (pic is not the best).

@PoojaMedia: Fernandinho almost break Mount leg = No yellow. One tackle from James = Yellow. Mike Dean has started his careless cautions

@KhalidO411: Mike Dean is a weird guy. Fernandinho tackles Mount two different times, one of the which he tried to stop a chance. Reece James makes one tackle which was on the ball and he gets a yellow

@Parksie: Mike Dean has just certified why players should roll over after every challenge. Mount carries on and no yellow for Fernandinho. James gets booked for a similar challenge because the player makes a fuss.

@TalkingBluesPod: Atrocious refereeing from Mike Dean… Fernandinho shouldn’t be on the pitch. Controlled most of the first half but we have been unable to finish our chances. #COYB #CHEMCI

@winstone78: Mike Dean hates Mason Mount

@CFCYuff: How has Fernandinho survived this? Stamping, hacking Mason Mount every chance he gets..he should be off the field by now yet Mike Dean giving him special treatment, yet Reece James gets a yellow on 1st foul? This is bullshit. @touchlinefracas @ChessyHour #TouchlineFracas #FACup

@BruceSymmons: What the fuck is Mike Dean thinking? Fernandinho hasn’t stopped fouling Mount and it’s not even being blinked at!

@PrideOLondon: Hey @EmiratesFACup I know you like interactions on your social, mind telling us how Mike Dean is still allowed to officiate a match of this magnitude?
