Lewis Dunk demanded greater transparency from referees after an ‘embarrassing, horrendous’ decision from Lee Mason denied the Brighton captain an equaliser in their 1-0 defeat at West Brom.
Mason, only a fortnight after being demoted to the Championship following two VAR blunders, controversially ruled out Dunk’s first-half equaliser in a chaotic refereeing performance that ended with him limping to the finish line.
The 49-year-old disallowed, allowed and then again disallowed Dunk’s quick free-kick – flip-flopping with the ‘help’ of VAR Simon Hooper in deciding whether Mason had blown his whistle before Dunk’s shot had crossed the line.
