O’Neil rages after penalties, while Fulham’s Silva agrees; official admits some mistakes’

WOLVES BOSS AT WAR WITH VAR AND REFS

A furious Wolverhampton Wanderers boss Gary O'Neil said bad refereeing decisions were hurting his reputation and "people's livelihoods" after his team were on the wrong end of more VAR controversy in their 3-2 English Premier League loss at Fulham on Nov 27.

Willian scored two penalties including a stoppage-time winner - while Alex Iwobi's early strike for Fulham was cancelled out by Matheus Cunha and Wolves' Hwang Hee-chan also netted from the spot.

But the VAR (video assistant referee) was once again the talking point after an engrossing match at Craven Cottage.

Fulham started the match brightly and took a deserved lead in the seventh minute with a nicely worked goal down the left, finished by Iwobi.

The visitors were level midway through the first half when Cunha headed home after sparkling wing play on the right by Jean-Ricner Bellegarde.
