An "unbelievable" VAR decision saw Josh King's Fulham opener controversially ruled out in a 2-0 defeat at Chelsea.
King thought he had given his side the lead in the 21st minute at Stamford Bridge when he cut inside the box and tucked his effort into the bottom corner, only to see his celebrations cut short by referee Rob Jones.
Jones was instructed by Michael Salisbury on VAR to review footage of Rodrigo Muniz's contact with Trevoh Chalobah in the build-up to King's goal.
How VAR drama unfolded
Shortly before the 18-year-old was played through and raced into the Chelsea penalty area, Muniz had shielded the ball and stepped on the foot of Chalobah.
After reviewing the pitchside monitor, Jones addressed the Stamford Bridge crowd to confirm the goal had been disallowed due to the "careless challenge" made by Muniz on Chalobah.
'Clear foul' - how managers and pundits reacted
"Unbelievable decision, unbelievable," said Fulham boss Marco Silva in his post-match press conference. "I am not in the best mood to [talk about it] but it was unbelievable how the goal was disallowed."
When asked if he had spoken to the referee after full-time about the decision to disallow the goal, Silva added: "No, I did not speak with him. I spoke with him at half-time to try to understand why the goal was disallowed.
"I would love to explain many things. The first goal - eight minutes extra time. After the first corner it was already nine minutes. It is time to stop the game. That is the rules.
"I asked the referee and he said because we lost time. But I checked the eight minutes. The game didn't stop.
"It's very difficult. I make mistakes, the referee makes mistakes, but when it is black or white, we cannot see something that is not there."
Silva also confirmed he would not be pushing for an official complaint to be sent from the club to the PGMOL.
"I do not think it is a foul, it should stand. I do not know where else the attacker can put his foot. He has taken a long time over this Rob [Jones]," said former Premier League referee Mike Dean on Soccer Saturday.
"Rob has been sucked in by the VAR [Michael Salisbury], he has just landed on his foot, which can only go in one place, it is a poor, poor call.
"The VAR should just stay out of it, it is not clear and obvious error, but he did not have the nerve to stick with the on-field decision, he panicked, it is just not a foul at all. I do not know anybody who would say that was a foul."
However, Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca said it was "clear" that Muniz fouled Chalobah in the build-up to King's disallowed goal, with the penalty also the correct decision in his view.
Speaking in his press conference after the game, Maresca said: "I review both actions. From my point of view, their player kicked our player and then the second one, it is handball.
"It is quite clear that it is a foul. I am very happy in general, today I was not happy after the first half. We didn't play on the ball and were not good enough in duels."
Joao Pedro was also asked by TNT Sports about the first decision, where he added: "The referee makes his decisions. I don't have anything to say about it. If the referee gives that, it's good for us."
More VAR controversy as Chelsea seal points
Sky Sports' Jamie Carragher labelled VAR "shocking" in the aftermath of the incident and it would become another talking point in the second half after Joao Pedro headed the hosts into the lead just before the break.
Chalobah was once again involved in the incident, this time seeing his shot blocked by the outstretched arms of Ryan Sessegnon inside the area, prompting another monitor check for the referee.
After a four-minute delay, with VAR also analysing a potential handball for Joao Pedro in the build-up and a foul from Moises Caicedo on Alex Iwobi, Chelsea were eventually awarded the penalty to double their lead through Enzo Fernandez.
"The penalty. Yes, it's handball. Definitely, it is handball but you can find two or three fouls for ourselves," Silva added when asked about the penalty decision.
"Stamp on Iwobi and handball from Joao Pedro, also the pushing on Joachim [Andersen]. Nothing from VAR. The same VAR that in the first half, found something unbelievable. But the same people do not see a stamp on Iwobi.
Two goals with VAR at the root cause of both of them. For Fulham, it marked their first defeat of the season but as Silva's frustration on the touchline showed, it could have been completely different against a team that now sit at the top of the table.
Silva frustrated but Fulham's luck will turn
Sky Sports' Patrick Rowe:
Inevitably, Marco Silva cut a frustrated figure on the touchline for the vast majority of the game at Stamford Bridge. Pacing up and down the touchline, arguing his team's case to officials and constantly shaking his head.
At half-time, he almost resisted the urge to approach Rob Jones on the pitch and pulled himself back down the tunnel. Across the second half, you could even see him just sat in the dugout laughing to himself in disbelief following the lengthy VAR delay that went against his side.
However, in his post-match press conference, he gathered himself and, before discussing the grievances he had from the game, he chose to focus on the positives.
Fulham were the better side in the first half; they deserved their lead, which got snatched away from them, and you could tell they were deflated after the restart.
But he was right to focus on the positives. The transfer window has been difficult to navigate, with just one signing so far, but his side have impressed in the early stages of the season, despite not having the points to show for it.
They battled back against Brighton. They did the same against Manchester United and could have won that fixture quite easily. They should have walked away with something from this game.
When it rains, it pours. Luck is against them at the moment but they have the quality in this side, as well as the potential new recruits that Silva expects to arrive before Deadline Day, that will turn that in their favour soon enough.
