Fulham's Loss to Newcastle Marred by Controversial Refereeing

Fulham boss Marco Silva criticizes referee Sam Barrott's handling of the game, while 17-year-old Lewis Miley scores for Newcastle.

  • Fulham's Raul Jimenez was sent off in the 22nd minute for an aerial lunge on Sean Longstaff, which Fulham boss Marco Silva admits was not a good challenge.
  • Silva criticizes referee Sam Barrott for not punishing Jamaal Lascelles for an elbow on Jimenez two minutes before Jimenez's red card, calling it a clear foul.
  • Silva suggests that Barrott, officiating his eighth Premier League match, lacked the experience to handle the pressure of the game.
  • Despite being down to 10 men, Fulham managed to look a threat on the counter attack in the first half, but were overrun in the second half, resulting in a 3-0 loss to Newcastle.
  • 17-year-old Lewis Miley scored for Newcastle, becoming the club's youngest scorer in the Premier League.
