In the latest match marred by VAR controversy, three second-half penalties were awarded, while two potential red cards were missed, as Fulham won in the Premier League for the first time since October 7.
Wolves manager O'Neil said the referees' team apologised after the game for not showing a straight red card for Carlos Vinicius's headbutt on Max Kilman, nor a second yellow to Tim Ream for the obstruction that brought Wolves their penalty.
O'Neil also said referee Michael Salisbury admitted VAR Stuart Attwell made an error in not sending him to the monitor to check Nelson Semedo's supposed foul on Tom Cairney for Fulham's first penalty.
Salisbury, watching the footage back with O'Neil, said he would have overturned his original decision if he had been sent to the screen.
"He [Salisbury] doesn't think the first one is a penalty because he thinks he should have been sent to the screen and he would have overturned it from the images that we watched together in his room," O'Neil said.
