In the 47th minute of the game, Chelsea's Callum Hudson-Odoi was fouled by Fulham defender Danny Rose in the penalty area. The referee awarded a spot-kick to Chelsea, but the decision was met with widespread criticism from both sides.
Fulham manager Slavisa Jokanovic accused the referee of bias and said that he had been "cheating" on his side throughout the game. Meanwhile, Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel defended his team's performance and said that the refereeing decisions were not fair.
The incident led to a heated debate on social media, with many fans expressing their frustration at the decision and calling for more transparency in the refereeing process.
The Premier League has since released a statement clarifying that the referee made the correct call, citing the laws of the game and the evidence available at the time of the incident.
