Good on Mike Dean for fronting up.
The Premier League has just turned 30 and, for the first time, we’ve got an official talking about what happened in a game he was part of. It’s refreshing.
We see weekly apologies from footballers on social media if they messed up. But we’ve grown accustomed to referees, assistants, VARs staying quiet.
This a sign of the PGMOL’s push for transparency. I admire Dean for giving us his insight into the 2-2 draw between Chelsea and Tottenham.
He says he should have sent referee Anthony Taylor to his pitch-side monitor.
