Fulham defender Antonee Robinson has called out the Premier League’s video assistant referee (VAR), calling the level of officiating in the Premier League « shocking. »
Robinson’s teammate Josh King had his goal disallowed on Saturday after VAR intervened for a foul in the buildup by Rodrigo Muniz on Chelsea’s Trevoh Chalobah, the PGMO later acknowledged that the decision to intervene was incorrect.
Michael Salisbury — who was acting as VAR for the game at Stamford Bridge — has since been replaced as VAR for Liverpool’s win over Arsenal on Sunday with Referees’ chief Howard Webb making contact with Fulham to discuss the decision.
« If they can check something for five minutes and still get it wrong, then what’s actually the point? » Robinson said on Instagram.
« Standard of officiating in the Prem [Premier League] has been shocking for a while now. »
Fulham manager Marco Silva also made his feelings about the decision after his side’s loss to Chelsea on Saturday.

« How do you disallow a goal like that? It’s unbelievable, » Silva said. « We have meetings with the referees, the people in charge that we respect. We go there to see a direction, and one of the main things is that VAR is not here to re-referee the game.
« For me it’s unbelievable to disallow that goal. I don’t want to say more, as I will be punished. »
