Thomas Tuchel said Mike Dean admitting he made a mistake in Chelsea’s 2-2 draw against Tottenham Hotspur does not change anything.
VAR official Dean allowed the match to go on after Cristian Romero pulled Marc Cucurella’s hair and Harry Kane equalised for Spurs seconds later.
“A mistake that big and obvious the whole world sees,” Tuchel said.
“I struggle to be fully impressed by the statement. It’s so clear and obvious, I cannot understand how a referee cannot make the right decision,” he added.
Chelsea will travel to Leeds on Sunday without midfielder N’Golo Kante who has a hamstring injury that Tuchel said is “quite serious”.
“We’re talking about weeks, it’s not good news, it’s disappointing and sad because he’s super important.”
