"Ref Called Mikel a Monkey"

The race row involving referee Mark Clattenburg in last Sunday's Chelsea/Manchester United match has gathered momentum as 2 unnamed Chelsea players stated that they heard the referee call Mikel Obi a monkey.

According to the players, Clattenburg was alleged to have said "Shut up you monkey" as he booked the Nigerian international for dissent. He also allegedly referred to Juan Mata as "Spanish twat".
Although the allegations have been denied, investigation is ongoing and the PFA Chief Executive, Gordon Taylor has promised Mikel and Mata "100% support".
