referee denies hulk's claim of racism abuse

Russian Premier league referee Alexei Matyunin has denied Zenit striker Hulk's claim of racial remark targeted at him.

Matyunin dismissed the claim as kindergarten talk, saying he was shocked by the accusation and would take legal action. Zenit lost 1-0 to Mordovia Saransk on Saturday.
