Disallowed King strike voted Fulham's goal of the month

Fulham's 18-year-old midfielder Josh King may have been denied his first Premier League goal by a controversial VAR decision last month, but his strike against Chelsea was voted the club's goal of the month for August, the London side said on Wednesday.

King made a run from his own half to latch onto a long pass from Sander Berge and went haring into the Chelsea area, turning defender Tosin Adarabioyo before coolly unleashing a powerful low strike into the bottom corner.

"That he garnered 83.1 per cent of the votes demonstrates how special a moment that was, or would have been," Fulham said.

Fulham's celebrations were short-lived when a VAR check ruled that Rodrigo Muniz stepped on Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah's foot in the lead-up to the goal. The game was 0-0 at the time, but Chelsea went on to win 2-0.

Howard Webb, referees body (PGMOL) chief, said the decision to disallow the goal was wrong and that the video assistant referee (VAR) made a mistake by intervening.

King has been at Fulham since joining their academy as an eight-year-old, and made his Premier League debut in December last year. He has started all three Fulham league games this season.
