Answer is no, what a joke the game is turning into and serious questions have to be asked about Mike Dean, you can decide for yourself in the video below;
Mike Dean has to be questioned. That was definitely NOT a Red Card. Absolutely Embarrassing. Not malicious in the slightest. As long as Refs don't get punished for big mistakes they'll keep making thempic.twitter.com/fG88oq42IK

You will also see that Jamie Redknapp was not one bit happy with the decision also, of course Redknapp being a former West Ham player, but this is a joke and Redknapp sums it up and is spot on really.

🗣"The fact Mike Dean went over there and still thinks it's a red card is a genuine worry to me"

By all accounts the reason Lee Mason asked Mike Dean to go to the monitor is because Soucek has apparently clenched his fist when moving his elbow…
West Ham and Fulham played out a 0-0 draw at Craven Cottage this evening, but as you can imagine this was the main talking point in the game.
Soucek raised his elbow and caught the Fulham striker and, following a lengthy video assistant referee check, referee Mike Dean watched the incident on the pitchside monitor and eventually showed a red card.
If this is what football is turning into we’re in big trouble.
