Former Premier League referee Mike Dean made a shocking confession on the live Sky Sports broadcast of the match between Arsenal and Chelsea.
Fans cannot believe what former referee Mike Dean said after a controversial moment during the Premier League clash between Chelsea and Arsenal .
Early in the match, Arsenal keeper David Raya tried to take a quick goal kick to launch a counterattack but was blocked by Chelsea defend Levi Colwill, who appeared to intentionally run in front of his opponent and trip him up, halting the move.Despite this, the Englishman was not booked for the incident, much to the surprise of commentator Gary Neville and fans online.
Reacting to the moment, Neville said: "I'm surprised that's not actually a booking, he tries to delay the restart. He does well Raya and Colwill just sort of blocks him."Dean then chimed in to explain, saying: "It's a possible booking there but usually the first one when I was involved, the first one was always free.
Neville, in complete disbelief, reacted by asking the former referee: "Is that in the letter of the laws Mike? First one is free?"And fans on social media agreed with the pundit, posting on social media: "If I’m a professional ref hearing Mike Dean on Sky I’m screaming at the telly. He just said that about a definite yellow card."
