Fuming Thomas Tuchel slams Mike Dean for denying Chelsea a '100 per cent penalty' during shock draw with Brighton - while labelling VAR 'a joke' for failing to intervene

A fuming Thomas Tuchel hit out at referee Mike Dean for denying Chelsea a '100 per cent penalty' and also a possible goal for Mason Mount in their shock draw against Brighton.

Tuchel felt Christian Pulisic was definitely fouled in the box without censure for Brighton in the second half, while Mount rolled the ball into the empty net only to see play brought back for a foul.

'We have a 100 per cent penalty against Christian Pulisic, a 50-50 challenge from Mason Mount right before their equaliser,' said Tuchel.
