Josh King's stunning strike against Chelsea has been voted Fulham's Goal of the Month for August, despite being disallowed by VAR due to an alleged foul in the build-up. The 18-year-old midfielder's impressive solo effort, which involved a run from his own half, a clever turn past Tosin Adarabioyo, and a powerful low shot, garnered an impressive 83.1% of the votes.

King's goal was initially celebrated by Fulham fans, but the joy was short-lived as VAR intervened, citing a foul by Rodrigo Muniz on Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah. However, PGMOL chief Howard Webb later admitted that the decision to disallow the goal was incorrect, and the VAR made a mistake by intervening.

The recognition of King's goal is a testament to his skill and talent, and it's exciting to see him continue to make his mark in the Premier League. As a product of Fulham's academy, King has been making waves in the football world with his impressive performances.

Fulham thought they had finally broken the deadlock when Joshua King scored, but their celebrations were fleeting. A VAR check revealed that Rodrigo Muniz had fouled Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah in the build-up to the goal, and the strike was subsequently disallowed. “That he garnered 83.1 per cent of the votes demonstrates how special a moment that was, or would have been,” Fulham said, highlighting the significance of the moment that slipped away.

The game remained scoreless at the time, but Chelsea ultimately seized control and secured a 2-0 victory. Joao Pedro headed the Blues into the lead just before halftime, and Enzo Fernandez doubled their advantage with a penalty in the second half. The penalty was awarded after a lengthy VAR review, which determined that Ryan Sessegnon had handled the ball in the box.

Chelsea's win marked a significant turnaround, as they dominated the game after the break and saw off Fulham's challenge. Despite Marco Silva's frustration with the VAR decisions, his team's quality and potential were evident throughout the match.

Josh King's impressive solo effort against Chelsea has earned him a special recognition. The 18-year-old midfielder's goal, which was later disallowed due to a VAR decision, has been voted Fulham's Goal of the Month for August. King's remarkable run from his own half, clever turn past Tosin Adarabioyo, and powerful low strike into the net garnered an impressive 83.1% of the votes.

The VAR decision to disallow the goal was deemed incorrect by Howard Webb, the chief of PGMOL. According to Webb, the video assistant referee made a mistake by intervening in the situation. The controversy surrounding the decision has sparked discussions about the reliability of VAR in the Premier League.

King's talent and dedication have been evident in his performances. Having joined Fulham's academy at just eight years old, he made his Premier League debut in December last year. This season, King has started all three of Fulham's league games, showcasing his skills and potential as a young player.
