Premier League referee David Coote has been suspended with immediate effect after an alleged video emerged of him calling a manager a 'c**t'.

An investigation is set to take place after the clip was posted on social media.

It's not quite clear at the moment when the video was made or how it came into circulation, but it appears to see Coote asked for his views on a Liverpool match where he has just been fourth official.

When asked why he felt that way about the German, Coote says he had 'a right pop at me when I reffed them against Burnley in lockdown' and 'accused me of lying'.

Coote adds: "I have got no interest in speaking to someone who’s f****** arrogant, so I do my best not to speak to him."

Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) said in a statement: “David Coote has been suspended with immediate effect pending a full investigation. PGMOL will be making no further comment until that process is complete.”
