I wonder what Alonso was trying accomplish? Amazing that Dean did nothing.
I’m assuming he didn’t see it, because if he did and didn’t even give a foul, he should be fired.
If that’s true that he missed it, it would qualify for a potential retroactive red, although that doesn’t help Southampton in their relegation battle. Could help them in the FA cup though as that’s one of the matches Alonso would be suspended for.
Not sure what is more amazing. Him not doing anything or him not seeing it. He had a good angle. He was a perfect distance from the incident.
I actually think Dean is a good ref 95% of the time. It is just that for 5% he is either useless or ridiculously arrogant or both at the same time.
And Mike Dean has kept Chelsea's season alive.
And likely ended Southamptons.
Given how hard their run in is, getting 3 points here would have been huge.
Palace already up.
