PGMOL Admits Error in Disallowed Fulham Goal; VAR Controversy in EPL
The Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) admitted an error in disallowing Fulham's goal during Chelsea's victory on August 31. Video assistant referee Michael Salisbury was withdrawn from the Liverpool vs.
Arsenal match following the mistake. Salisbury intervened to disallow Josh King's goal due to contact between Rodrigo Muniz and Trevoh Chalobah.
PGMOL confirmed that the decision fell below their standards, leading to Salisbury's removal. The incident sparked anger from Fulham's manager, Marco Silva.
John Brooks replaced Salisbury in the VAR booth for the subsequent games. This admission highlighted the ongoing challenges with VAR decisions in the English Premier League.
