Referee Mike Dean handed out the one hundredth red card of his career during Wolves v Man Utd on Tuesday night, sending off Ashley Young.
Having beaten the Red Devils 2-1 in the FA Cup last month, Wolves won by the same scoreline in the Premier League to consolidate 7th place.
However, they were upstaged on the night by Dean, who reached the milestone when he showed Young a second yellow in the 57th minute of the match.
As you can imagine, there was no shortage of jokes about Mike Dean’s 100th red card:

When he’s old and grey, Ashley Young will be able to tell his grandkids that he was Mike Dean’s 100th red card.
And a bird shat in his mouth during a live Premier League game.

Mike Dean: "Yeaaahhhhno, always nice, but the main thing is to get the top marks from the referee's assessor. I had no idea I was on 99 until one of the lads told me before the game"

"I asked Ashley to sign the card for me in the dressing room after the game and, as you can see, he's written "Fuck off you prick" which is just a little inside joke between us and really shows the mark of the man."

Can’t believe Mike Dean didn’t lift up his shirt to reveal a ‘100 not out’ message

That's Mike Dean's 100th sending off in the Premier League.
Only surprise is he didn't raise the red card to all four sides of the ground in celebration.
