(Reuters) -Fulham's 18-year-old midfielder Josh King may have been denied his first Premier League goal by a controversial VAR decision last month, but his strike against Chelsea was voted the club's goal of the month for August, the London side said on Wednesday.

King made a run from his own half to latch onto a long pass from Sander Berge and went haring into the Chelsea area, turning defender Tosin Adarabioyo before coolly unleashing a powerful low strike into the bottom corner.
