(Reuters) - Fulham manager Scott Parker has lashed out at soccer's video assistant referee (VAR) and accused Newcastle United striker Callum Wilson of diving to win a penalty in Saturday's 1-1 Premier League draw at St James' Park.

Fulham took the lead after defender Tosin Adarabioyo's header struck the post and the ball ricocheted off Matt Ritchie's face into the net. But Newcastle were awarded a 64th-minute penalty when Wilson was fouled by Joachim Andersen.
