Mike Dean has opened up about one of the decisions he now calls a "really bad call" during the Chelsea vs Tottenham match back in August 2022, and it's caught the attention of football fans everywhere.
In a podcast interview with The Overlap in a video released via their official X account , the former VAR official admitted he regrets not instructing referee Anthony Taylor to review a clear hair-pull by Cristian Romero on Marc Cucurella in the penalty area. This is not the first controversial guest that will be brought to the Podcast with Roy Keane earlier gracing the show with his presence , as reported by Softfootball .
Dean revealed he actually saw the incident but chose not to intervene because he felt Taylor had already been through a tough game, cautioning both Thomas Tuchel and Antonio Conte, managing high tension on the pitch, and he didn't want to pile more pressure on the referee. Meanwhile, in a previous podcast, John Mikel Obi had publicly declared that Arsenal have the best squad in the world.
