In the third round of the Premier League, Chelsea defeated Fulham 2-0 at home, and Joao Pedro and Enzo each scored a goal.
There were many controversial scenes in this game. In the 21st minute, the away team intercepted the backcourt and launched a fast break. Munis made a straight pass, and Josh King got the ball away from the defense and shot into the net. But VAR intervened and signaled that Munis was suspected of committing a foul when stealing. The referee Jones judged Munis was determined to commit a foul first after watching the video, and Josh King's goal was blown up. After the game, Fulham coach Marco Silva expressed dissatisfaction.
Liverpool and Fulham former player Danny Murphy said of this penalty: "I really can't remember a worse VAR penalty than this one, and the referee had the opportunity to correct the mistake. It was a wonderful goal, but they said it was a reckless steal. Munis did not make a foul move. He used a beautiful 'Maradona turn'. He did not foul, and Charoba was the one who snatched it. Somehow VAR decided to intervene, and I don't understand why.
"It's really hard to understand. Whether you have played the ball or not, you can see that it is a technical move. When the referee was called to watch the video, he had a full chance to say ‘actually this is no problem, the game goes on’, but he didn’t do that, and that’s what made me angry.
"They are all experienced referees and have been in this work for a long time. They have to do better because it's an example of how easy it is to make the right judgment, but the referees are calling quite poorly and I hope God can make them apologize."
