Fans think referee Michael Oliver \u201cdeserved a red card\u201d after blocking Brentford\u2019s goalscoring opportunity in their defeat to Everton.<\/p>\n

The Toffees clinched a much-needed 3-1 win at Brentford on Saturday. It marked the first victory for Sean Dyche\u2019s side in the Premier League this season after six games, with Abdoulaye Doucoure, James Tarkowski and Dominic Calvert-Lewin all getting on the scoresheet.<\/p>\n

Yet there was an element of fortune involved as, three minutes after Calvert-Lewin\u2019s goal in the 71st, the referee played a huge role in stopping the home side\u2019s attack. In fact, Saman Ghoddos had an empty net to aim at, and the result could have played out very differently but for Oliver\u2019s accidental intervention.<\/p>\n

Jordan Pickford\u2019s mis-kick found its way to Brentford substitute Ghoddos. But the Iranian\u2019s touch hit the obstructing Oliver, meaning he couldn\u2019t get a shot off on goal.<\/p>\n

The official, who looked red-faced and apologetic after his blunder, immediately blew his whistle to give Brentford possession. And despite shaking the Bees midfielder\u2019s hand, Brentford fans online were left furious as they took to social media to vent.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

One supporter wrote: \u201cVAR should have sent Michael Oliver off there, clear denial of goal scoring opportunity,\u201d while another Twitter user added: \u201cNo way has Michael Oliver just got in the way of Ghoddos from Brentford having a shot at an open goal.\u201d<\/p>\n

A third wrote: \u201cMichael Oliver stopping Brentford from scoring an open goal just sums up the officiating in this league man,\u201d and a fourth joked: \u201cI\u2019ve just seen Michael Oliver contribute to one of Everton\u2019s best defensive displays this season.\u201d<\/p>\n

Others chimed in by mocking the referee, tweeting: \u201cGreat defending from Michael Oliver,\u201d and \u201cMichael Oliver drops into the holding role there, breaking play up superbly.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brentford were unable to add to Mathias Jensen\u2019s clinical 28th minute strike for the remainder of the game. They dropped to 13th in the table while Everton climbed up to 15th, two points behind the west Londoners.<\/p>\n
