Marco Silva (Fulham)
August 2025
Fulham boss Marco Silva slammed “shocking” refereeing after his side’s 2-0 defeat at Chelsea, questioning three key calls. Josh King’s opener was disallowed for a Muniz foul, while Joao Pedro scored during stoppage time beyond the declared minimum. Silva demanded explanations from the Premier League, claiming VAR and referee Rob Jones unfairly swung the contest. The disallowed opener and controversial timing frustrated Fulham, while Chelsea capitalized to take control. His anger reflects mounting concerns over officiating consistency early this season.
