"A long ball by Fulham keeper Bernd Leno found Harry Wilson, who broke clear of Chelsea fullback Marc Cucurella and found himself through on goal. Cucurella grabbed the arm of Wilson, committing a holding offence on the edge of the penalty area. Referee Peter Bankes awarded a free kick and sent Cucurella off for a DOGSO (denial of an obvious goal scoring opportunity)."

VAR in the Premier League produces controversy because decisions depend on protocol and conclusive visual evidence. Andy Davies is a former Select Group referee with over 12 elite seasons and VAR operational experience, offering insight into matchday processes, rationale and protocols. In Fulham 2-1 Chelsea, Bernd Leno's long ball set Harry Wilson through on goal, and Marc Cucurella grabbed Wilson's arm on the edge of the penalty area. Referee Peter Bankes awarded a free kick and sent Cucurella off for DOGSO. VAR checked only whether the hold continued into the penalty area; the evidence was not conclusive, making the call extremely close.
