As punishment for his refereeing mishaps, Mike Dean was relegated from Premier League duty to the Championship. But he's back!

That's despite being center of attention over the weekend. Dean controversially awarded Leeds a penalty after deeming the Barnsley defender to have handled inside the area.

But Marc Roberts clearly made connection with the ball outside the box. But fortunately for Barnsley, they eventually ran out 3-2 winners in the Yorkshire derby.

Saving Dean from more scrutiny.

And after churning out another whistle-happy performance, Dean is set to be back in the top flight for the next round of Premier League fixtures.

According to BBC Leicester, he's set to resume the 'Mike Dean' show when Burnley entertain the defending English champions Leicester City next Tuesday.

Dean will once again don the black kit in the Prem after his calamity-laden performance in the middle during West Ham vs. Manchester United.

The man who loves the spotlight was subject to a shitload of criticism following his decision to send off Hammers' Sofiane Feghouli.

It was later - and rightfully so - rescinded as they eventually got beat 2-0.
