Bournemouth boss Scott Parker questions whether Fulham’s goal crossed the line

Scott Parker claimed Bournemouth may have fallen victim to goal-line technology failure during his side’s top-of-the-table clash with his former club Fulham.

Dominic Solanke’s stoppage-time penalty earned the Cherries what could be a crucial point in their quest for automatic promotion from the Championship.

But it was Aleksandar Mitrovic’s header to put Fulham into the lead that had Parker questioning the Goal Decision System.

Initial TV replays suggested Bournemouth goalkeeper Mark Travers had made an outstanding save to claw the ball away before it had fully crossed the line but referee Graham Scott awarded the goal.

Baffled Parker said: “They scored a goal which looks a little bit dubious. It doesn’t look like the whole ball has crossed the line so I think that’s a little bit harsh.

“Maybe technology was faulty or the camera was not lined up properly, I don’t know.”

In a first half of few clear-cut chances it was former Bournemouth loanee Harry Wilson who came closest to scoring when his 20-yard strike forced an awkward save out of Travers.

Having sealed promotion in midweek, Fulham knew a win would all-but guarantee the league title due to their vastly superior goal difference over their hosts.

The Cottagers took the lead 11 minutes into the second half when Mitrovic towered above Nat Phillips to nod his 41st goal of the season from Wilson’s cross.

Defender Tosin Adarabioyo headed against the crossbar from two yards when he had the chance to seal the win.

Substitute Todd Cantwell lashed into the side-netting with what appeared to be Bournemouth’s last chance to rescue a point.

But the Cherries were gifted the opportunity to equalise deep into stoppage time when Adam Smith was upended by Wilson after a clever turn in
