Let’s run this down shall we?
1st pen: Given despite no contact. 2nd pen (Hwang): weird to see a pen from a yellow kit, cool. But that’s a second yellow and Ream should be off. 3rd pen: yes, a pen. Unfortunate as Gomes wasn’t even looking, but whatever. The egregious mistake is that Fulham shouldn’t be on this side of the pitch because Vini should be off on a red.
So, to keep score: that’s two goals that should happen and two players that should be off the pitch.
Gross.
one more thing to add is if the first Fulham pen isn't clear and obvious enough for the monitor, then how is the second? I'm happy in a world where there's no var checks, or the var checks at least consistently give the ref a chance to go to the monitor. if you're so confident in your referees to make the right decisions then let them have all the facts.
