I don't see why people are calling out VAR for those 2 Fulham pens . The first was harsh, but it was given on field and var has to find something obviously wrong with the call to overrule.

The 2nd was a defending lunging all a player heading away from goal he just didn't need to stick his foot across the Fulham player in that Position.

That's just the problem with "clear and obvious". The commentators mentioned it, and it seems entirely likely based on the refs hesitation, that he awarded the penalty so VAR could sort it out. In real time it looked like it so understandable if he'd lean that way.

The fact that it wasn't "clear and obvious" it wasn't a penalty meant they were never gonna overturn it no matter the refs decision. If he didn't call it, nor would have VAR.
