The games at Stamford Bridge and Goodison Park this weekend were both full of refereeing controversy, prompting plenty of arguments about the key points on Twitter

Despite an incident-packed weekend, Sunday's games garnered the most attention due to the refereeing howlers witnessed in the Merseyside derby and during Chelsea's defeat to Manchester United.

Unsurprisingly, these events dominated Twitter, but there is plenty elsewhere for those who happen to be big fans of English football officials.
