The retired ref did not want to create 'any more grief' for Anthony Taylor.
The Argentine centre-back should have been shown a red card but instead Dean chose not to intervene, with Spurs equalising from the subsequent corner, and he was stood down from duty for the following gameweek.
Dean, who has left his role with PGMOL and is part of Sky Sports’ Soccer Saturday programme, has now revealed that it was a conscious decision not to send Taylor to the monitor because he did not want to create any more ‘grief’ for his friend., Dean – who regrets his decision – explained: ‘I missed the stupid hair pull at Chelsea versus Tottenham which was pathetic from my point of view.
‘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”.
‘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. ‘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.
