Fulham boss Marco Silva has fumed at how 'almost all' of referee Robert Jones' decisions were in favour of Newcastle United following his side's 1-0 defeat.
Fulham were, of course, awarded a spot-kick by VAR in the 69th minute after Bobby Decordova-Reid was felled by Kieran Trippier inside the area at St James' Park on Sunday. However, Silva felt the visitors should have been given a penalty seconds earlier when Dan Burn pulled Andreas Pereira back. Fulham, ultimately, had to make do with only the second decision going their way, but Aleksandar Mitrovic then had his converted penalty disallowed after the former Newcastle striker accidentally kicked the ball onto his standing foot after he slipped.
Newcastle went on to win the game when Alexander Isak scored a header in the 89th minute to send the Magpies back up to third in the table. Silva, though, felt the match would have been 'completely different' if that first penalty was awarded and Burn was sent off, and the Fulham boss was shown a yellow card after the game for making his point to Jones on the pitch.
