Howard Webb will take no further part in Euro 2008 after UEFA decided not to award the English referee any further games.

The Premier League representative was involved in a controversial award of a stoppage-time penalty in his first game at the tournament.

Webb awarded Austria a late spot-kick against Poland when he judged that Mariusz Lewandowski was guilty of pulling Sebastian Prodl's shirt and Ivica Vastic secured the co-hosts an unlikely 1-1 draw.

Afterwards a furious Poland coach Leo Beenhakker accused Webb of effectively knocking his side out of the tournament and, despite UEFA backing his decision, the official from South Yorkshire has not been awarded a game in the knockout stages.

Webb also refereed Wednesday's final Group C clash between Greece and Spain.
