Former Premier League referee Mike Dean said he decided not to alert a fellow official to a missed call via the VAR system during last season's fiery match between Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur because he wanted to spare him"more grief".

The foul was not given by on-field referee Anthony Taylor and Spurs scored a late equaliser during the resulting passage of play. "I said to Anthony afterwards: 'I just didn't want to send you to the screen after what has gone on in the game'. Dean, who refereed more than 550 matches in the top flight and became a full-time VAR official last season, was taken off VAR duty for two months after the controversial match.
