Fulham head coach Scott Parker called for VAR to be introduced into the Sky Bet Championship after believing his side were denied a late penalty by referee Jeremy Simpson. Bristol City led 2-0 through captain Josh Brownhill and Famara Diedhiou before Fulham substitute Aboubakar Kamara pulled a goal back in the 86th minute to spark a frantic finale. Neeskens Kebano appeared to be clipped by City’s Callum O’Dowda, only for referee Simpson to wave away appeals from the Fulham players mobbing him, before the midfielder headed against the crossbar in stoppage time. I’m proud of the players today.”Bristol City boss Lee Johnson said: “I haven’t seen the penalty back but I don’t need to. I spoke to our player, Callum O’Dowda, and he felt he pulled away and pulled out.
