“I think that is the most important, we need to accept that we are with our emotion.“For me it’s not important, I don’t take it personally.

All that happened on the pitch, I’ll never translate off it.”Dean was due to be fourth official for Tottenham’s Premier League trip to Chelsea on Wednesday, but he has been moved to Manchester City’s home fixture against West Ham following Saturday’s incident.
