There were many controversial calls during the match.
The recent Premier League match between Chelsea and Fulham saw several surprising decisions made by the officials. Referee Rob Jones first denied a penalty to Fulham, then awarded one in their own area. However, the visitors faced further challenges beyond these decisions.
Details: PGMOL chief Howard Webb acknowledged that disallowing Joshua King’s first-half goal was a clear error.
Quote: “This wasn’t a matter of controversy; it was simply incorrect. We’ve established clear guidelines for officiating in the Premier League and for VAR usage, emphasizing a high standard for penalizing contact to keep the game’s flow intact. Additionally, there’s a high threshold for VAR reviews. In this instance, those guidelines were not adhered to properly. The officials misinterpreted the contact between Muniz and Chalobah, focusing only on that moment and neglecting the overall context of the incident,” Webb stated on the Match Officials Mic’d Up TV program.
