🗣️ Former PGMOL referee Mike Dean on Bruno being struck in the face:
“There’s NOT a lot of force in it, but I don’t understand why the player would run back and put his arm in and just put himself at risk.
“I’m not sure what’s happening — they’ve obviously had a look at it; they’re not doing anything, they’ve just had a chat with Fernandes and check complete. You run the risk with VAR; that could have gone either way.”
Merson: “They didn’t even book him, Mike.”
Dean: “Well, it’s May, isn’t it?”
Lead presenter Simon Thomas: “What? It might be May for you, but the referee’s still got a job to do, hasn’t he?”
