In an interview with Match of the Day, Deeney, 26, said David Coote had "bottled it on a few occasions" in the match on 2 January. Deeney admitted his comments were "improper" as they "questioned the integrity" of Coote and were "personally offensive". In the interview, the striker who scored twice in the match, accused Bournemouth's Dan Gosling of "trying to do" Tom Cleverley in a tackle. But the referee bottled it on a few occasions."
