Dean: I’m amazed penalty wasn’t given
Former Premier League referee Mike Dean informed Sky Sports activities Information:
“I was a bit surprised if I was being honest, there was a bit of a tangle at the start but it’s a clear foul, a clear knee on the back of the calf.
“I assumed the referee used to be going to present a bad in actual moment, it simply felt adore it to everybody observing the sport. I used to be much more shocked the VAR didn’t become involved.
“I think the VAR would have got involved, he’s probably looked at it and the referee’s given some kind of explanation, maybe a tangle of legs or the attacker’s instigated the contact.
“However no matter method you have a look at it, it’s a sunny penalty. They’d have checked out it, and the VAR simply yes with the referee – wrongly individually, in everybody’s opinion via the sounds of it.
“Scotland defended well and had chances. If they went 1-0 up, I couldn’t see Hungary scoring a goal with how they defended for the rest of the game.
“It’s simply a kind of issues. I used to be amazed it wasn’t given. The referee’s most definitely viewable a tangle, but when I used to be an attacker and I am getting throughout a defender and really feel touch, you are expecting a penalty to both be given via the referee, the worker or via VAR.
“The referees are at that tournament for a reason, they’re the best in Europe or in South America in his case. You’re there to make the big calls, guys have made big calls all competition; this is the first one, apart from Anthony Taylor’s against France on Friday, where we’re talking about the referee and the VAR.”
