Guidance not followed after Josh King scored, Webb says
Goal chalked off after Muniz stepped on Chalobah’s foot
Howard Webb, England’s chief refereeing officer, has described the decision to disallow Josh King’s goal against Chelsea as a “misjudgment” by the match officials.
King appeared to have scored a first league goal for Fulham in Saturday’s derby at Stamford Bridge but his effort was ruled out after the referee, Robert Jones, was asked to go to the pitchside monitor after a check by the video assistant referee.
The goal was controversially chalked off because his teammate Rodrigo Muniz was adjudged to have stepped on Trevoh Chalobah’s foot while turning with the ball. Michael Salisbury was then stood down as the VAR official for Sunday’s meeting between Liverpool and Arsenal.
