Chelsea Gets Help From VAR in 2-0 Win over Fulham in Premier League

Chelsea scored twice through Pedro and Enzo Fernandez, while Fulham contested VAR decisions that influenced the match outcome and sparked managerial frustration.

  • Chelsea Football Club beat Fulham Football Club 2-0 at Stamford Bridge, London, with Joao Pedro and Enzo Fernandez scoring key goals.
  • After a VAR review, Josh King’s 21st-minute goal was ruled out citing an infringement involving Rodrigo Muniz and Trevoh Chalobah, with referee Robert Jones upholding the decision on the pitchside monitor.
  • Referees awarded Chelsea a penalty after video review, judging Ryan Sessegnon blocked Trevoh Chalobah’s shot and noting Joao Pedro’s push and handball in the build-up.
  • Marco Silva expressed furious disbelief at officiating as Fulham Football Club felt robbed for the second weekend, while Chelsea Football Club has seven points from its first three games.
  • The controversy has intensified debate over VAR’s remit as former Premier League referee Mike Dean and pundit Jamie Carragher criticised calls, arguing VAR officials overruled on-field decisions unnecessarily.
