Former Premier League referee Mike Dean has admitted that Arsenal should have been awarded a penalty in their match against Hull City, adding that he believes VAR reached the wrong conclusion on the incident.

Dean, one of English football's most recognisable officials, said the decision not to award the spot-kick was an error — a view that will frustrate Arsenal supporters who felt aggrieved in the moment.

The former official also outlined why he believes the video review process failed to overturn the original call, raising fresh questions about the consistency and reliability of VAR in high-stakes situations.
