Kinnear on ref rant as Latics win

JOE KINNEAR blasted referee Mike Dean after watching his Newcastle side beaten 2-1 by Wigan.

Dean dismissed Newcastle defender Sebastien Bassong for bringing down Emile Heskey to allow Amr Zaki slot home his ninth Premier League goal from the penalty spot, giving Wigan a 2-0 lead with 17 minutes remaining.

Then Dean booked Newcastle sub Andrew Carroll for diving when it looked as if Newcastle might save a point with a late spot-kick.
