Defoe: Referee right over 'bite'

Tottenham and England striker Jermain Defoe insists referee Steve Bennett would had red-carded him if he had been guilty of biting Javier Mascherano during the 1-0 victory over West Ham.

Defoe claims the incident during yesterday’s game at White Hart Lane “has been blown out of all proportion” even though video replays showed him appearing to bite the Argentinian’s arm.
