Marco Silva put the focus on what he said was an error from the video assistant referee, insisting Chelsea’s Malo Gusto should have been sent off in the 38th minute and suggesting it would have altered the course of an eventual 1-0 defeat for his Fulham team.

Gusto crashed into Willian’s shin with the score at 0-0, having missed the ball with his attempted tackle and the referee, Anthony Taylor, showed him a yellow card. Silva waited for the VAR, Michael Salisbury, to suggest Taylor should reconsider but the original decision would be allowed to stand.
