Chelsea boss, Thomas Tuchel, has been left unimpressed by referee Mike Dean admitting he made a mistake on Cristian Romero’s hair pull on Marc Cucurella.
Tuchel revealed he was underwhelmed by VAR official Dean’s comments accepting he should have ordered a review of Romero’s tussle with Cucurella in Chelsea’s Premier League 2-2 draw with Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.
Romero had pulled Cucurella to the ground by his hair before Harry Kane headed in an added-time leveler at Stamford Bridge.
Tuchel and Tottenham coach Antonio Conte were both sent off full-time in the fall-out, with the Blues coach immediately lamenting Kane’s goal standing.

However, Dean admitted to Sportsmail that he should have asked referee Anthony Taylor to review the Romero-Cucurella incident on the pitchside monitors, which might have allowed Chelsea to play out a 2-1 victory against Spurs.
Speaking during his pre-match press conference on Friday ahead of Chelsea’s Premier League tie with Leeds United on Sunday, Tuchel admitted he could not take much solace in Dean admitting a mistake over an incident he considered so clear at the time.
