Dreams FC administrative manager Ameenu Shardow has branded referee Nathan Anaafo a murderer after awarding a dubious penalty against them in the 1-0 defeat to Asante Kotoko on Sunday in the Ghana Premier League.

According to a Graphic Sports report, Kotoko winger Emmanuel Gyamfi feigned injury and fell heavily in the Dreams FC box.

Referee was convinced and pointed to the spot for a penalty in the 88th minute which was converted by captain Amos Frimpong to hand the Porcupine Warriors their first win in six matches.

Shardow is convinced the referee deliberately plotted to deny them a point.

"How can you describe this referee than being an armed robber? Okay fine he's not an armed robber because he doesn't have a gun so he is not armed," he told Joy FM Sports.

"But I think he is a murderer, I can even describe him as a murder because you're playing with people's heart. People have invested money to prepare their team very well for games, they come, play good football and you one-man singlehandedly take such a dubious decision.

"The referee failed to control the game. Just look at the number if cards he showed in the game."

He added: "We [Dreams] came here to play good football but the referee on the day wasn't poor because it's very deliberate. From the 70th minute he was looking for such opportunity and he took such a dubious decision.

"I think if we are to do football well in this country such characters as this referee should've been gotten rid off immediately."
