Dean was filmed slicing the ball into the back of the net during a match involving the Premier League's top matchday officials.
The footage comes from Sky Sports' documentary The Referees, Onside with Carragher & Neville which offers an inside look into the life of a top-flight middle man.
And in a rare, unforgivable act of referees being human, Dean – with colleagues Anthony Taylor and Martin Atkinson – has shown off his alternative side by running the length of the pitch in a co-ordinated celebration after scoring a scrappy goal.
