Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi is not shying away from talking about officiating.

The Albion head coach, who has his team in the top half of the Premier League table, was furious after his team's draw with Sheffield United at the weekend.

De Zerbi launched a scathing attack on referees in the Premier League, stating he dislikes most of them.

The Seagulls chief told reporters post-game: I am honest and clear and I don't like 80 per cent of referees in England.

It's not a new thing. I don't like them or their behavior on the pitch.

England is the only country where when there is a VAR check you are not sure it is the right decision.

In other countries you have to be 100 per cent sure the referee's decision is right.

In England, no, and I'm not able to understand it.

Until the red card there was only one team on the pitch. With one less player we lost order and lost our style."
