Lewis Dunk forced to apologise after X-rated interview following Brighton’s defeat to Tottenham

LEWIS DUNK was forced to apologise for swearing in an X-rated interview after Brighton were controversially beaten by Tottenham.

Harry Kane netted the winner after Dunk himself equalised following Son-Heung min’s sensational opener.

But Brighton were left fuming after goals from Kaoru Mitoma and Alexis Mac Allister were both ruled out for handball.

Fans were left in disbelief that Mitoma’s effort was disallowed, claiming the ball had in fact hit him on the shoulder.

The Seagulls also felt they should have been given a penalty when Tottenham midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg appeared to trip Mitoma in the box.

Spurs interim boss Cristian Stellini and Brighton gaffer Roberto De Zerbi were both sent off following a melee between the two dugouts after Mac Allister’s strike was ruled out.

And a seething Dunk did not hold back at VAR in his post-match interview.

The centre-back dropped an F-bomb at the start of the chat, before quickly apologising.

But his rant continued.

He fumed: “There’s no point having VAR in the game if you’re not going to make big decisions like that.

“That changes everything, I just don’t understand it.

“They can make the decision for the handball but can’t make the other ones, I think they made one tight decision for a handball but they don’t make a clear decision on the penalty.”

Earlier this season, PGMOL chief Howard Webb apologised to Brighton after Pervis Estupinan wrongly had a goal disallowed for offside in a 1-1 draw with rivals Crystal Palace.
