<\/p>\nFootball fans think they have spotted Lewis Dunk calling referee Anthony Taylor a "f***ing b***end" – which resulted in the Englishman's dismissal.<\/p>\n
Brighton captain Dunk gave away a penalty against Nottingham Forest on Saturday afternoon, which earned his first yellow card. However, the England star was irate with the decision, and he immediately confronted Taylor.<\/p>\n
Taylor was quick to give Dunk his marching orders, and in a video that surfaced on social media, football sleuths think they spotted Taylor explaining to Dunk's team-mate what he said. Fans claim they can see in the video Taylor saying: "He's called me a f***ing b***end."<\/p>\n

"My respect for Dunk just went up exponentially," one fan joked. While a second shared: "Potentially the most worthwhile red card ever, Anthony Taylor, you are in fact a b***end."<\/p>\n
"'B***end' will always be a top tier insult. I respect Dunk for this choice of profanity," a third joked. And another added: "Any player who gives Anthony Taylor abuse is a hero in my eyes!"<\/p>\n

According to the Daily Mail, Dunk was actually given a yellow card, and he was instead given a straight red card for dissent. Morgan Gibbs-White tucked home the resulting spot-kick, but it was too little too late for Forest who still lost the game.<\/p>\n
Dunk is the first player to see a straight red for dissent since Mike Dean showed Lee Cattermole his marching orders in 2011, and he will now miss Brighton's next three games.<\/p>\n
