Retiring Premier League referee Mike Dean claims he PREDICTED that 'AGUEROOOO' moment in 'best ending ever', insists he was celebrating his own advantage and NOT a Spurs goal... and reveals just why he sniffed his assistant's shirt

Mike Dean has opened up the most memorable moments of his 22-year career as a Premier League referee - claiming he predicted Manchester City's sensational title triumph.

The well-known official is retiring at the end of this season and has enjoyed some infamous incidents, including refereeing Manchester City's hugely dramatic last-gasp championship win and being accused of celebrating a Tottenham goal.

And Dean claimed he knew Sergio Aguero's stoppage-time winner against QPR in 2012, which saw City snatch the title from rivals Manchester United on goal difference, was coming before it happened.
