Premier League referees' chief Howard Webb has said "guidance wasn't followed properly" by the VAR when Fulham 's Josh King had a goal disallowed at Chelsea on Saturday.

King, 18, thought he had scored the first Premier League goal of his career to give Fulham the lead in the 21st minute.

But the VAR, Michael Salisbury, sent referee Rob Jones to the pitchside monitor for a foul in the buildup by Rodrigo Muniz on Trevoh Chalobah .

The decision led to widespread criticism, with Fulham boss Marco Silva describing the intervention as "unbelievable." PGMOL acted swiftly and removed Salisbury from his VAR appointment for Sunday's game between Liverpool and Arsenal , and admitted a mistake had been made.
