World Cup Final referee Howard Webb has suffered the humiliation of being axed from the Premier League list - and relegated to League One.

Webb has been punished for his error-prone performance in the Tyne-Wear derby at Newcastle, where he got key decisions wrong in Sunderland’s 3-0 win.

Webb, English football’s leading official, and his assistants missed Yoan Gouffran’s horror challenge, disallowed a Papiss Cisse goal for Newcastle even though he was onside and waved away a penalty appeal.

They have been relegated TWO divisions and will take charge of Colchester’s low-key clash with Shrewsbury on Saturday.

Meanwhile, Chris Foy will referee QPR v Stoke at the weekend, despite failing to send Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero off for a shocking stamp on Chelsea's David Luiz in Sunday's FA Cup semi-final.
