„Fulham“ after two consecutive wins fell 5:0 at the „Newcastle United“ fortress.

After Raul Jimenez's red card, Marco Silva's players couldn't resist against the Newcastle team. After the match, the Portuguese had a lot of complaints to the referees.

„The referee did not give a single goal in favor of „Fulham“ today. Every time a „Newcastle“ player fell, they were awarded a penalty kick.

I understand – congratulations to „Newcastle“ – they play in a stadium where the referee needs to know how to handle pressure. They always play in front of home fans and pressure. That’s the Premier League.

„The Premier League must have referees who can handle pressure, this afternoon is an example of a referee who lacks this ability and experience to handle pressure in front of 50 thousand people. It is obvious to me.

Every questionable episode was not in our favor. Overall, the performance from the side of the referee, considering the yellow cards, was strange,“ said M. Silva.

The match was officiated by a less experienced referee Samuel Barrottas. During the match, the „Fulham“ players received 2 yellow cards and one red card. The „Newcastle“ players remained „dry“.
