Referee who caused MU to lose the match set a record for red card speed

By sending Ashley Young off and indirectly causing MU to lose 1-2 to Wolves in round 33 of the Premier League, referee Mike Dean set an unbelievable record and deserved the title of "King of Cards".

According to statistics, Young is the 100th player to be shown a red card by referee Dean. This is a real record for a referee in the Premier League. Mr. Dean has sent off a total of 67 players, more than any other colleague.

More specifically, Mr. Dean's red card rate is 0.21 red cards/match, the highest efficiency for a referee still working. The person behind Mr. Dean is Andre Marriner who "only" issued 58 red cards, still far behind Mr. Dean.

In addition to his ability to hand out red cards “like a machine”, Mr. Dean is also very “generous” in handing out yellow cards. With a total of 1,731 yellow cards, reaching a rate of 3.63 yellow cards/match, much more than his colleagues. The referee with the second highest rate of handing out yellow cards after Mr. Dean is Atkinson, who has only handed out 1,256 yellow cards.

This season, Fulham has changed coaches 3 times but Jokanovic, Claudio Ranieri and now Scott Parker have all been unable to save the situation for Fulham.
