Marco Silva was left fuming after Fulham’s 2-0 defeat to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on August 30, 2025, slamming referee Robert Jones and VAR for “unbelievable” decisions that cost his side dearly. A first-half goal by Josh King was controversially disallowed after VAR deemed Rodrigo Muniz’s challenge on Trevoh Chalobah a “careless foul,” while Chelsea’s second goal came from a disputed penalty converted by Enzo Fernández after Ryan Sessegnon’s alleged handball. João Pedro’s stoppage-time header (45+9’) opened the scoring for Chelsea, but Silva insisted Fulham played “outstanding football” in the first half. Fulham fans echoed his frustration, chanting “2-0 to the referee” as boos rang out. Chelsea’s starting XI: Robert Sánchez; Malo Gusto, Trevoh Chalobah, Tosin Adarabioyo, Marc Cucurella; Moisés Caicedo, Enzo Fernández (c); Pedro Neto, João Pedro, Estêvão; Liam Delap. Fulham’s starting XI: Bernd Leno; Timothy Castagne, Kenny Tete, Joachim Andersen, Calvin Bassey; Sasa Lukić, Sander Berge; Ryan Sessegnon, Josh King, Alex Iwobi; Rodrigo Muniz. Silva also addressed Liam Delap’s early hamstring injury, which disrupted Chelsea’s attack. Was VAR unfair to Fulham? Join the debate in the comments!
