Overview

• Josh King's 21st-minute finish for Fulham was overturned after VAR Michael Salisbury sent referee Rob Jones to the monitor, with Jones ruling Rodrigo Muniz had made a "careless challenge" by standing on Trevoh Chalobah's foot.
• Joao Pedro put Chelsea ahead with a header in the ninth minute of first-half stoppage time after eight were indicated, with the lengthy VAR check contributing to the added time.
• Another review in the second half confirmed handball against Ryan Sessegnon after assessing a potential push and handball by Pedro, and Enzo Fernández converted the penalty in the 56th minute.
• Fulham manager Marco Silva raged at the decisions and confronted Jones at half-time as fans and pundits, including Jamie Carragher and former referee Mike Dean, criticized the overturn as excessive.
• Chelsea closed out a 2-0 win to move to seven points from three matches, while the incidents intensified debate over VAR consistency and the application of PGMOL's guidance on overturn thresholds.
