Teenager Josh King thought he had opened the scoring at Stamford Bridge, calmly finishing off a stunning breakaway move inside the opening 22 minutes.Silva has been left furious after his side were controversially disallowed a goalAFPHowever, referee Rob Jones was quickly sent to the monitor by Michael Salisbury, the video assistant referee, to review a possible foul in the build-up.Cottagers striker Rodrigo Muniz got away from Trevoh Chalobah with a pirouette and stepped on the Blues defender’s foot in the process.After a few replays of the incident, Jones then turned to announce his decision to the fans inside Stamford Bridge. He explained: “After review, Fulham No.9 commits a careless challenge, stands on the foot of the Chelsea defender, therefore we disallow the goal and we restart with a Chelsea free kick. “There would be no further action.”It sparked a furious reaction from Fulham manager Marco Silva on the touchline after the foul.That continued at half time as Silva waited for Jones to exit the pitch to vent his anger during the 2-0 defeat for his side. And after the game, the Cottagers boss took aim at VAR and the officials as he launched into a rant live on talkSPORT.He said: “I’m 100% sure that all of you guys and people in studio and everybody…what I say now will not may any difference.“It can put me in trouble, I don’t want to be. I like to speak open about football but I’m not in a good mood.King was denied a fairytale goal in the West London derbyAFP“I respect you and your questions, but I’ve spoken enough already.“Everyone is shocked, everybody that is looking at that moment is shocked, our players are shocked.“A dream moment for a young lad, 18 years old, that is playing at a high level and showing his quality, the biggest moment to play the first debut against Chelsea as a senior player in a Fulham shirt.“A great goal from him, great finish, and now it goes on and we have to explain why the goal was disallowed but I don’t have the conditions I can show to him. “He’s going to understand that football is sometimes not fair. In his career, he’s going to understand that what looks obvious and looks a fair decision will not go in his direction. “It’s a good thing for Josh to understand that football sometimes isn’t fair…it was unbelievably unfair with our team.”View Tweet: https://twitter.com/tntsports?ref_src=twsrc%5EtfwSilva was then asked whether he had spoken to the referee or will be contacting the PGMOL after the incident. To which, he replied: “Why [would I speak to the referee and PGMOL]?“It wouldn’t make any difference. We were waiting for something from them last week because something happened in both boxes against Man United, similar things. “We didn’t receive anything, we didn’t receive an explanation. “I think I would not be myself to go there. I will not do it.”England legend Stuart Pearce was among the many watching who agreed with Silva that the VAR decision was incorrect. Match StatsSpeaking on talkSPORT commentary after the goal was ruled out, Pearce said: “For me, that is ludicrous. I can’t accept that.“And if that is the baseline for which we’re going to rule goals out, you won’t see many goals in the Premier League this season.”Ex-Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher commented on the decision to disallow the Fulham opener at Stamford Bridge.He wrote on X: “VAR has had a shocking start to the season.”Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand also wrote: “VAR killing this young man’s moment…”King’s opener being ruled out wasn’t the only controversial moment in the game either…VAR’s decision denied King his first Premier League goal before Chelsea scoredGettyPiling on the miseryChelsea thought they had gone 1-0 down after 22 minutes, with King brilliantly scoring the opener. However, they survived thanks to the controversial VAR decision and ended up taking the lead themselves. Pedro powerfully headed in from a corner in the final seconds of the first half, deep into stoppage time, which was built up due to the check for the foul that denied Fulham’s goal at the other end.Soon after the second half began, there was yet another long VAR check too, which piled on more misery for Fulham. Ryan Sessegnon was judged to have handballed in the box from a Chalobah cross and a penalty was given. Before that incident, Pedro appeared to have also had the ball touch his hand – but that was given the all clear by VAR.Sessegnon saw the ball strike his hand as he tried to block a crossTNT SportsBut Pedro appeared to potentially commit a handball in the box earlier in the moveTNT SportsReferee Jones explained his decision again, speaking to the stadium. He said: “After review, Fulham thirty makes his body unnaturally bigger by blocking a cross, with his arms extended away from his body. Therefore, my final decision is penalty kick.”Enzo Fernandez then sent his spot-kick right down the middle, as Fulham fans sang ‘2-0 to the referee’ from the away end.Speaking about that moment and how it impacted the game, Silva told talkSPORT: “The penalty was another decision from the VAR…probably two or three fouls before the penalty, they didn’t give one.“It’s something unbelievable considering it’s the same people that saw something in our first goal.“Difficult to understand, but it is what it is…it was difficult for the players to control their emotions.”‘A great decision’ On the complete opposite side of the argument, Chelsea defender Chalobah praised the officials’ decisions. Chalobah was on the receiving end of the foul that disallowed King’s goal for Fulham, being stood on by Muniz. “I think the video showed it, it was a foul, that’s why I went down,” the centre back told talkSPORT post-match. “It was a great decision from the referee. “I went up to the ref and said: ‘Are you going to look at it?’ “They said they were going to look and I wasn’t worried at all.”
