Allardyce blasts ref and players

SAM ALLARDYCE left Goodison Park spitting venom in all directions — but mainly at rookie Premiership referee Howard Webb.

The South Yorkshire official was blamed for all the ills that saw Bolton lose a 2-1 lead under siege from third-placed Everton in a captivating final quarter of this wonderfully entertaining game.

Allardyce claimed Webb was not up to the pressures of the top flight and said he was swayed by a baying home crowd.
