Mike Dean reacts instantly to 'diabolical' incident in Everton draw vs Bournemouth
Mike Dean shared his expert verdict as Everton felt they should have been awarded a penalty against Bournemouth.
The Toffees drew 1-1 in Saturday's Premier League clash at the Vitality Stadium.
Alex Scott gave the Cherries the lead four minutes before half-time on the South Coast.
Everton did well to hang in their and struck late on through James Tarkowski to snatch a point.
It is another good result for Everton on the back of beating Crystal Palace 2-0 in their opening game last weekend.
But David Moyes will be disappointed at a decision that went against his side prior to that goal in the second half.
What incident was Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall at centre of?
Thierno Barry squandered a glorious chance for Everton, who will feel good value for their point.
Everton had lively moments either side of that opportunity, including 10 minutes into the second period when Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall went to ground.
Bournemouth's James Hill lost his man and then stepped across Dewsbury-Hall inside the box.
It looked a strong penalty shout on the face of it, but referee Chris Kavanagh waved away the appeals.
VAR took a look at decided against asking Cavenagh to go across to the screen.
Speaking live on Sky Sports News, Tim Sherwood initially thought it was a stonewall penalty.
"It's a liberty. It has to be a pen," Sherwood said. "It's a diabolical liberty from the referee. It's impossible not to get overturned."
However, to the hysterics of those in the studio, Sherwood backtracked when seeing a replay as he said: "Maybe not."
Former Premier League referee Dean gave his instant views and agreed it was not a penalty.
"What's happened is Hill has turned. As he's turned, he's run into [Dewsbury-Hall]," Dean said. "It's not a penalty.
"It was never going to be a penalty."
That pretty much followed the general consensus, though Everton were ultimately rewarded for their efforts anyway.
