'Clear red card' - Fulham boss Marco Silva fumes after Chelsea's Malo Gusto escapes sending off for ugly challenge on Willian

Gusto reached for the ball and, in his challenge, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/maybe-red-card-chelsea-boss-mauricio-pochettino-admits-malo-gusto-fortunate-sending-off-challenge-willian/bltca44cfbe9fa3831d" target="_blank">caught Willian with his studs above the ankle</a> in what appeared to be an obvious sending off. However, to Silva's frustration, the defender was merely cautioned. The Blues would go on to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/chelsea-player-ratings-vs-fulham-cole-palmer-cold-malo-gusto-var-reckless/blt9030060207c25e8d" target="_blank">win the game 1-0</a> and the Fulham boss can only be left wondering what might have been had the Frenchman been given his marching orders.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Speaking to TNTSports, Silva said: "That has to be red card for Gusto. It is difficult to understand how things are not consistent at this level in the Premier League. Probably nine out of ten times that has been a red card. It was a dangerous tackle and put the player in trouble, it is a clear red card. VAR check, but this time they do not give."

WHAT SILVA SAID

The decision becomes yet another case study in the catalogue of dubious VAR calls this season. Had Gusto been sent off, with the game at 0-0, it may have completely changed the complexion of the derby. Even Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/maybe-red-card-chelsea-boss-mauricio-pochettino-admits-malo-gusto-fortunate-sending-off-challenge-willian/bltca44cfbe9fa3831d" target="_blank">admitted that his side were lucky</a> to keep 11 players on the pitch. Silva's side sit comfortably in mid-table but will be frustrated to drop points at their struggling rivals.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Fulham are next in action against Liverpool in the return leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final. The Cottagers <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/liverpool-vs-fulham-live-stream-tv-watch-carabao-cup-semi-final/bltfcc5fe82b6a15082" target="_blank">lost the first leg 2-1 at Anfield</a>.
