Joao Pedro (Chelsea)
August 2025
Chelsea beat Fulham 2-0 at Stamford Bridge in a match marred by refereeing controversies. Joao Pedro scored his fifth goal of the season and Enzo Fernandez added a penalty, but Fulham fans fumed over two contentious VAR decisions. Fulham had Joshua King’s opener disallowed after VAR ruled a foul in the build-up, before a dubious handball call led to Fernandez’s penalty. Chelsea improved after halftime but faced chants of “2-0 to the referee,” despite extending their unbeaten start to the season.
