On-field referee Anthony Taylor failed to spot Cristian Romero's
hair pull on Marc Cucurella, with Dean this week admitting that
he should have asked Taylor to visit the referee review area and
check for a possible red card offence.
"Upon reflection, I should have asked Taylor to visit his
pitch-side monitor to take a look for himself. The referee on
field always has the final say," Dean wrote in a column for The
Mail+.
Tuchel said he was surprised it took Dean so long to accept his
mistake.
"My concern is more why it takes so long. It will not change
stuff, unfortunately, but the decision is more than just a bad
decision," he told reporters before Sunday's trip to Leeds
United.
"We can discuss endlessly, but it is a new level of mistake. And
for such an obvious and clear mistake with such an enormous
consequence immediately for the outcome of a game, it was very,
very hard to accept and to understand."
Harry Kane's equaliser led to a heated confrontation between
Tuchel and opposite number Antonio Conte at full time, resulting
in a suspended one-match touchline ban and a fine of 35,000
pounds ($41,000) for the German.
"I will survive it," added Tuchel. "It is not a problem. It is a
bit harder to accept given the context that two minutes before
somebody on our team got pulled by the hair."
