In a thrilling encounter, Fulham emerged victorious against Wolves with a contentious 3-2 win, marked by late VAR drama. The match saw three penalties, with Fulham’s Willian converting two of them, including a last-gasp spot-kick that proved decisive.

The controversy began on the hour mark when Fulham was awarded a penalty after Tom Cairney went down under a challenge from Wolves’ Nelson Semedo. Willian confidently dispatched the spot-kick, giving Fulham a 2-1 lead. Wolves responded with an equalizer from Hwang Hee-Chan, who converted a penalty after a foul by Fulham’s Tim Ream.

However, the drama intensified in added time when Willian secured his brace, converting another penalty after Harry Wilson was brought down by Joao Gomes. The decision came after a lengthy VAR check, adding to Wolves manager Gary O’Neil’s frustration with VAR and refereeing decisions.

Despite twice leveling the score and displaying a spirited performance, Wolves were dealt a late blow. O’Neil, who has been critical of referees and VAR decisions this season, saw his team suffer in the dying moments. The victory ended Fulham’s four-game winless streak in the Premier League.
