Mike Dean has admitted he failed to correct Anthony Taylor's mistake during the clash between Chelsea and Tottenham, because the pair are "mates".VAR official Dean refused to interveneDuring the ill-tempered clash between the Blues and Spurs last season, with the score at 2-1 in injury time, Cristian Romero pulled the hair of Marc Cucurella in the penalty area at a corner. No foul was given and Spurs won a second corner, from which Harry Kane scored a 96th-minute equaliser.
“It’s one of them where if I had my time again, what would I do? I’d send Anthony [Taylor] to the screen. I think I knew if I did send him to the screen … he’s cautioned both managers, he’s had a hell of a game, it’s been such a tough game end to end.“I said to Anthony afterwards: ‘I just didn’t want to send you to the screen after what has gone on in the game’.
“Anthony, he is big and bald and ugly enough to know if he is going to the screen he is going to the screen for a reason. If someone pulls their hair now it’s dead easy. It’s just a brainwave by me, a really bad call by me, and it kind of affected me as VAR going forward.”
