Mike Dean has made a huge admission
Dean continued: “I said to Anthony afterwards: ‘I just didn't want to send you to the screen after what has gone on in the game’.
“I didn't want to send him up because he is a mate as well as a referee and I think I didn't want to send him up because I didn't want any more grief than he already had.” After talking about that mistake, Dean revealed that he was petrified when sitting in the VAR hot seat.He said: “That was a major error. If they don’t score from the corner it is not as big an issue. But I knew full well then I would be stood down the week after. I asked to take a bit of time off because it wasn’t for me.
“I used to get in the car on a Friday and was dreading Saturday. I was thinking,"I hope nothing happens." I used to be petrified sitting in the chair.” Dean was not selected for VAR duties for the following two months before stepping away from refereeing altogether.
