Laudrup left furious by referee Dean

Referee Mike Dean was condemned by Swansea manager Michael Laudrup for his decision-making during a worrying extra-time incident in yesterday’s 1-0 Barclays Premier League defeat at Tottenham.

Laudrup was dismayed that Dean allowed Spurs to play on even though striker Michu had crashed to the pitch after taking a blow from the outstretched forearms of keeper Hugo Lloris, who was attempting to punch the ball clear.
