Dean is often asked to weigh in on refereeing debates across the various kick-offs during the show.

And he gave his view on Luton’s goal against Nottingham Forest as the Hatters pulled one back after trailing 2-0.

Chiedozie Ogbene poked the ball home, but Dean seemed adamant that the goal was going to be overturned.

However former pro Dawson was in disagreement with the referee and thought the goal was perfectly fine to stand.

Ultimately the on-field officials agreed with Dawson’s view and Luton had their first goal of the afternoon.

The Tottenham cult hero took his opportunity to gloat abut being right and teased Dean live on the show.

He joked: “Onside, it’s 2-1. My eyes were right. Get to Specsavers, Mike.”

It was an awkward moment for the retired referee who seemed shocked that he had incorrectly judged the situation, but played along by putting his glasses on as a result.

Luton were pleased their goal stood and even managed to build on it by bagging an added time equaliser through Elijah Adebayo.

Rob Edwards’ side now sit in 17th place in the Premier League table narrowly avoiding the relegation zone as things stand.
