Wolves manager Gary O'Neil said "today finally turned me against VAR" after his side were on the receiving end of four controversial VAR decisions in their contest against Fulham.


Fulham overcame Wolves at Craven Cottage thanks to Alex Iwobi's opener followed by two spot kicks that Willian converted with ease. However the away side were unhappy with the result, with O'Neil labelling his opponents penalties as "bad referring decisions."


He told Sky Sports that the referees are making a huge difference to his "reputation and the clubs progression up the league." Although O'Neil was impressed with Wolves second half performance he explained that he can't accept "being on the wrong end of decisions as often as we are."


Matheus Cunha and Hee-Chan Hwang got their names on the scoresheet but it wasn't enough to get a result from the match. They face Arsenal next at the Emirates, another tough test which makes this "mind-boggling" result even more heartbreaking for them. Fulham also have a difficult away match coming up, they take on Liverpool at Anfield.
