Salisbury has been replaced by John Brooks after the Professional Game Match Officials Board {PGMOL] acknowledged an error was made in disallowing Fulham’s opening goal at Stamford Bridge.
Josh King’s goal was disallowed following a lengthy VAR review, with Salisbury instructing on-field referee Robert Jones to consult the pitchside monitor and assess a foul by Rodrigo Muniz in the build-up.
