AFTER he was spotted celebrating Tranmere Rovers semi-final win, it's no surprise the cameras were looking for referee Mike Dean once again.
And thanks to a last-minute extra time winner, we got to see him jumping for joy once again.
Once the final whistle was blown, Mike Dean was quickly trending on Twitter across the UK with many people sharing the video.

Speaking earlier this week, manager Micky Mellon said he hoped to see Dean doing the same thing today.
He added: "Football being what it is, we all like to speak about referees. Referees are 'this' or 'that'.
"But we don't see Mike as a referee because he doesn't ref us. He has a season ticket, so does his daughter, and they follow us up and down the country.
"There is a lot of negativity sometimes when you see things like what happened at the end of the Forest Green game, but I looked at that and thought, 'Isn't that good?'
"Isn't it good that a game of football can do that to somebody? I knew that he meant it because I know how long he has supported Tranmere.
"A huge part of the football world watching that was going to have an opinion, but he didn't care. That is how he felt. He was going to show that and I thought it was brilliant."
