Pgmol acknowledges error in disallowed Fulham goal at Chelsea

The PGMOL has acknowledged that VAR made a mistake in intervening in Fulham's disallowed goal at Chelsea on Saturday.

Michael Salisbury, the VAR at Stamford Bridge, has been stood down from his involvement in Sunday's Premier League game between Liverpool and Arsenal following the incident.

King's first-half strike was ruled out after referee Rob Jones was instructed by Salisbury to review footage of Rodrigo Muniz's contact with Trevoh Chalobah in the build-up, sparking a furious reaction from Fulham boss Marco Silva.

Sky Sports News understands the decision was not in line with the principle of 'referee's call', and did not meet the high bar required for intervention, which should only be for clear and obvious errors.

PGMOL chief Howard Webb contacted Fulham on Saturday, and a decision was taken then to replace Salisbury with John Brooks for Sunday's game at Anfield.

Sky Sports News has approached Fulham for comment.
