Mark Clattenburg accuses referee Anthony Taylor of ignoring unwritten rule during World Cup

Former Premier League referee Mark Clattenburg believes that Anthony Taylor was responsible for triggering unsavoury scenes at the end of South Korea's match with Ghana at the World Cup - as he ignored an unwritten refereeing rule and blew up early.

Taylor was the man in charge for the highly-charged Group H match, which was eventually won 3-2 by Ghana. The African nation, led by Otto Addo, had raced into a two-goal lead courtesy of first-half strikes from Mohammed Salisu and Mohammed Kudus. But South Korea fought back and restored parity with a quickfire brace from Cho Gue-sung.

Kudus grabbed his second just minutes later to hand Ghana their only win of the tournament - although South Korea had the last laugh by progressing at both Ghana and Uruguay's expense.
