Overview

  • King’s effort won with 83.1% of fan votes, the club announced on Wednesday.
  • The 18-year-old burst from his own half onto a Sander Berge pass, turned Tosin Adarabioyo and drove a low finish into the corner.
  • The goal was overturned after VAR ruled Rodrigo Muniz stepped on Trevoh Chalobah in the buildup, and Chelsea later won 2-0.
  • PGMOL chief Howard Webb said the decision to disallow the goal was wrong and that VAR should not have intervened.
  • A review panel deemed VAR Michael Salisbury wrong to intervene and referee Rob Jones wrong to disallow the goal, with Salisbury not assigned to the league’s return that weekend, according to reports.
