Premier League refereeing chief Howard Webb has admitted it was “wrong” and a “misjudgement” to disallow a goal scored by Fulham during Saturday’s 2–0 defeat to Chelsea.
Fulham took the lead in the west London derby when teenage talent Josh King found the back of the net. But there was a VAR review for a potential foul from Rodrigo Muniz on Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah in the buildup, prompting on-field referee Robert Jones to consult the pitch-side monitor for another look. Jones then decided to disallow the goal for that contact on Chalobah.
